This is better for her, as well. 

Hi,   In Muskegon more specifically, to note for seasonality of this. 

With all this investment bringing in business, high-paying jobs, etc over the next few years it seems like it's a solid potential opportunity to get in.

It's clear wholesalers aren't seen in the best of light, but many investors still use them.

One metric they provide is new construction sales, which I can use to calculate % of total sales and see whether that value is trending up or down.My question is, in general is a market more or less desirable if there are a lot of new builds hitting the area? 

In your situation, seek out a partner who is already experienced in this type of acquisition and managing the same.Share split? 

You need to calculate the time to break even on this, and consider if you will live in this home in 1 or 2 years from now.

My problem is that every six months I have to move (summer season North Carolina, winter season Florida) so I can't use first home trick.

The super came and said it is because of the wrong paint used not the vent. 

I do this with our own REI business and clients.
