One of the things I’m uncertain about is whether or not I should pay off personal debts before making investments.

I have let the right people aware of scotts rudeness. please understand we make no acceptance of his behavior, it wasnt personal its just a sales mentality issue.He is new, Myself have been with PD 18 mos but have 30 yrs selling, and 20 yrs in real estate.

@Troy Fisher was very helpful with providing a good contact and I had a 30-minute conversation with the person.  

Still looking for personal references based on 1st hand experiences, something to go on, but I have filled out the form and requested info for a couple.Thanks much!

Also, any tips on how to expedite the process would be much appreciated (i.e. getting signatures for notification from neighbors in person vs. sending certified mail, etc)Thanks in advance!

Hi Julianne, Investing in rental properties near a beach in Florida sounds like a great idea, especially if you're looking to combine investment with personal enjoyment during the winter months.

But would it be fine if I Iabeled myself as the listing owner and made the other person the host? 

The seller was the most lazy person I have ever met.

If this area interests you @Angelo Proto, he would be a great person to reach out to.

LLC is more based on protecting personal assets from business liability.
