Please join us in congratulating our newly named Vice President, Homes & Villas by Marriott International, Jennifer Hsieh and her dedicated team on reaching this moment.

One of the best moments of my life was when I made a conscious decision to start building my family's future through real estate.

The ocean is teeming with capital providers at the moment.

That must have scared other folks away but I could tell the building had good bones and we'd be able to make it shine.

But then at some moment, as others have pointed out, it gets easier.

I'm currently working as a technology business analyst/product manager for a global financial institution with 5 years of experience.Some options and pathways that I'm looking into at the moment:1) Working in real estate brokerage/consulting (specifically within the "hotel" groups) - far from resort development but would give the foundational real estate skills2) Going back to school and getting a masters degree in real estate development - expensive, both in terms of time and money, but would set me straight and could focus on working for a resort developer right after3) Thinking of ways I can start right now entrepreneurially (redeveloping small projects and moving up) - risk, lack of funds, knowledge, but I'd be my own boss right off the bat4) Reaching out to resort developers with similar visions that might have potential opportunities - how many will pick up their phones?

I am out of the country at the moment, and the citation was sent to my families home, and not my PM.

I also don't have strong income at the moment.

@Ty Mason GS Marcus has a no penalty CD (meaning you can remove your funds at any time without penalty) at 2.45 at the moment.

We’ve been investing in the area for about 10 years now, and most of the good deals at the moment are off-market.
