Thoughts, comments, or analysis if this latest acquisition is a forecast for the economy and real estate market. 

21-24 days, sometimes 30 days dependent on weather and inspections.

My forecasted profit is the highest in OBX however I know there is the input I am missing that I could only get by talking to someone that is there.

I might have to live in this property for a few years first, and I *hate* hot weather.
