I agree someone should have picked it up.

Any advice on how to determine a good mgt company, rental rates, etc.

Determine the pros and cons.

Well this is my second new member introduction and the reason for that is that I picked up my family an moved just south of Charlotte to Clover, SC. 

You can go to a locksmith and pick up a couple knobs keyed the same and also to your master.

As @Tim Emery implies, in the actual resort towns a lot of the real estate has been well picked over and ROI's tend to be fairly low. 

I can completely see a flipper picking up one too many deals (as in BUYING it) and eventually selling for a slight markup untouched, if it was bought for a great deal.

So for these, you just need to work out how much less than ARV you care to go.But if you're talking commercial (5+ units), then yes, rent is very important in helping determine value, because their market value is heavily influenced by the market cap rate there!

If the loan is applied for a property which is still in the proposal mode and not yet occupied, the appraiser need to send a letter to VA which determines, what is the ‘Fair Rental Value’ of the property.

As it stands, it's on his first party insurance until you're determined to be liable, if that happens.
