Anyone have any research on how this has affected other coastal markets or destination spots in our country?

The only reason I ask is because I’m a math major and I’m going to be working on getting my PhD in mathematical finance and going into the hedge fund private equity world I was just wondering if you could apply this advanced math to things like on a value add deal where you want to buy an apartment and raise rents but you don’t want to many vacancies so you need to calculate the sweet spot to maximize profit.

(CNBC) – Texas snagged the top spot on CNBC's list of America's top states for businesses.The Lone Star state scored 1,651 out of 2,500 points, making it the only state to be named a four-time winner since the study's creation in 2007.

My sweet spot is vacation rentals and assessing highest and best performance in various markets, looking at NOI vs CAP, evaluating acquisition, expenses, exit strategy, and modelling for various scenarios with a near infinite number of levers we can tweak to account for any nuance in any variable. 

I would focus on making your vacation rental the perfect spot for you and your fiancé and chances are, it will be perfect for other visitors, as well. 

So, if you happen to be doing well financially, but are unaccredited, you'd be shooting yourself in the foot relative to your chances of getting into a deal with a syndicator who accepts sophisticated money, because they wouldn't want to loose 2 out of the 35 spots for one person.2.

deposits range from 10% to full price on the spot depends on the CO.Where is am not sure yet is when a lien / past tax/water/sewar/HOA  is cleared by the foreclosure or not. 

The frustrating part as agents is the average property values in the area are in the sweet spot for the average and fist time homebuyer being in the $100-200k range. 

Look at this real bad spot near the fireplace.

Usually there is a reason and they give it on the spot (plus late fee of course).
