We now have enough manpower to provide more attention to our clients if they have questions, concerns, or issues along the way.

I do not hold any actual real estate because I did not want to be concerned with being less fluid.

Extremely communicative and Bob spent time over multiple phone calls answering specific questions I had concerning the deal.

However, a lot of concerns can be mitigated with looking at their past rental behavior in a lot of different settings.

Condos are cheaper than houses, and to my mind, a vacationer wouldn't care much about staying in a bigger place for their short stay, and would be more concerned with a good location and a nice view.Thoughts?

The best banks that I have found based on your main concerns are smaller, regional, community sized banks.

The definition of “livable” or “finished” space can be surprisingly specific.In many markets, including here in Arizona, appraisers and agents generally want the space to be finished in a manner consistant with the rest of the home and serviced by a more permanent heating and cooling source.

Unit 3 - mid-term rental (this would be best for the most private unit as most mid-term renters are more concerned with privacy and creature comforts than amenities)4.

The problem (as you have cited) is trying to understand what you need (you don't know what you don't know), where to get it, qualifying its source(s), and the validity and usefulness of all that.Pardon me if I've gone into this too much, but I meet many people with the same concerns that you are voicing and this is offered, as much as possible in direct response to your post.Please feel free to contact me if you have any comments or questions.
