I hope to find a suitable property.

Most Property Management companies started out this way and then find themselves managing 100 units within 24 months and can't remember how they got there.My advice is if you are a decent property manager you will get as many leads as you can hope for through organically networking in your market.

If that's the case is the best hope a 10/15 year loan with 30 year amortization with balloon payment due?

Hope all of you are doing great. 

And many are the ones you are reading about in the news (or soon will) as they lose properties to foreclosure and wind their way through civil (and occasionally criminal) court.  

It’s a hurdle, undoubtedly.Palm Beach’s real estate market isn’t merely about transactions; it’s about narratives—narratives of hope, perseverance, and the steadfast belief that paradise isn’t just a destination; it’s a mindset.As you navigate the twists and turns of Palm Beach’s real estate landscape, remember this: the Palm Beach dream isn’t exclusive to a select few; it’s accessible to anyone bold enough to seize it.

Hopefully you haven't had to deal with that as you learn the system!

Of those that do get behind, they disappear before the court hearing because they know they will lose. 

Hoping to do some networking and learn more about the pros/cons of investing in the VA Beach area.Background:I have purchased and sold a primary residence before, but am trying to learn the ins and outs of purchasing for investment purposes.
