Assuming time is your most valuable resource, I would say skip the residential game and buy an aged LLC, LLC business or start a LLC, and prepare to do a multi/office/retail deal in commercial real estate.

I am new to the game and am trying insure that I am able to accurately calculate ARV's.

Welcome back to the game @Isaac Norris.

These resorts have amenities guests love, pools, spas, clubhouses, water slides, mini movie theaters, tiki bars, tennis, beach volleyball, basketball, games arcades, playgrounds and some even have restaurants.

I also had some custom monthly calendars made with my advertising, Oct-Dec I would put out those calendars.

A few months ago I jumped into this game called 'investing in real estate' and so far this experience has been real good and rewarding.

I had not considered borrowing from my TSP for a down payment - thank you for posting your question - it just gave me an option I didn't even realize I had.Just for that, I'll see if I can get the Navy guys to layoff a bit at the next football game! 

You don't want an owner taking away time and energy from other owners who would have committed to you as a buyer.It's a  cat and mouse game and sometimes you win and sometimes you lose but there are more properties in the future on the market and off the market to consider.

Play the “what if” game for a while to understand where each of you stand on certain topics.

We have a clause in our property management agreement that gives us the right to list all the properties we manage for 90 days.If he doesn't have that clause in you agreement it is free game!
