Currently I'm working as a server administrator on MacDill AFB.  

I've structured in the costs of a vacation rental property management company (16% first year, 18% every following year) that provides 24/hr guest services, advertising on all the major vacation rental websites as well as marketing, administrative and accounting process.

The current administration sent new guidelines to HUD requiring higher down payments for vacation homes.  

The lender is going to hold on to the money and use an administrator to give you draws as work is completed by a qualified contractor and verified by an inspector. 

We discourage receiving {partial} rent payments from individual housemates or third-parties (parents) and charge an extra administrative fee in those instances.

Petersburg, Florida and have a degree in Business Management/Administration from USFSP.

Is there a way to grant them administrative access to your account without giving them full control?  

My priorities before I became an agent, myself, was to ask if they invest or have investment experience as many agents are used to dealing with owner-occupied, which have different priorities from investors; if they have a problem writing offers for much less than asking price (some do, although they are supposed to submit all offers for their clients, even low ones); if they require exclusive buyer-broker as I won't sign one of those (I will sign for the specific properties they show me, but not exclusive); and what, if any, of their fees are as I've found some firms like to surprise you with weird administrative fees as a buyer once you've asked them to write an offer for you, which I find objectionable.  

However as an officer I would be doing more office/ administrative work, while as NCM (Electrician) I would be learning electrical skills enough to be a journey man in 3 years, and also will be able to pick up other skills such as basic plumbing and construction. 

In my mom in law's case, you would have to find out who her children are, and if you did, you be told it's not for sale.Many such homes are in the process of probate, and you'll have to find out from probate court who the administrator or executor of the estate is.
