Please feel free to argue if I'm wrong.On the same subject, where would one find a list a people back on their mortgage payments?

There is a point where  you'll be able to cash out refi from the property, but without extreme appreciation it probably won't be in year 1. 

Join a group like NARPM where you can take classes and network with other professionals.

Where to splurge and where to save that will make the biggest impact and get your units rented asap.I will come back and update with my new social account soon!

I am located in Venice, Florida and I'm in an area where vacation rentals are a popular choice.

I defy anyone to define what affordable means in Avon where apartments can run $2000 a month or more.

Even Hard Money lenders (with 10% to 12% interest rates might have issue with that) PROPOSAL MADE and SEEKING OTHERS:Have the Husband agree to SELL her his 50% interest in the House on TERMS to the WIFE who wants to STAY in the home and where he would carry back a WRAP AROUND  Note - lets say for $1,425,000 at 7.0% with I/O INTEREST ONLY repayment terms  of $8,312.50 monthly and a 36 Month Balloon payment when the entire $1,425,000 would be due.

In which case you need to ask yourself, do you know all the issues with this property and why do you think you could succeed in turning this property around where this operator has failed.

The opposite is also true where a lender will have an agent they recommend. 

I would recommend finding the top lenders in the area where you're buying and gaining a good understanding of their terms.
