I am a total newbie in RE but seasoned in small business.

In most cases the seasoning of 3 months would be considered too short (and that might still apply).

With all of the interaction on the forums, and the shear amount of information, it looks like a great place for beginners and seasoned investors alike.

I think that FHA loans have seasoning requirements, but many other loan programs do not.

So this is a very, err, exotic question, but what I'm looking for is this:Reconstructable structures for a beach club.The thing is France has had some legislation passed which abolishes beach clubs (think Saint Tropez) that are kept all year round in "environmentally sensitive zones" (i.e. everywhere).They still allow licenses on leased beach land during the season (april-october) but outside of that, they need to magically disappear.Save from having a 400.000 EUR write-off every year, I believe there has to be another way.

Tenants to pay all utilities.Estimated Taxes: $1,850/yr (on high end; could be closer to $1,400 on low end)Estimated Insurance: $700/yr Taxes + Insurance = $212.50/moOther ExpensesProperty Management (@10% only when rented): $130/mo-vacancy = $112/moVacancy Loss (@ 13.90%): $2,168/yr = $181/moThis is extremely high and could be unlikely, but according to a website I use for information on the area, it says this is the average for this area because of seasonality.

Good luck beating out the Hedge Funds and seasoned investors when placing competing bids on listed REOs!

The more skin the investor has in the deal, the more attractive the deal is to the HML.I don't believe hard money is a good fit for buy and hold unless it is temporary just for the acquisition and you have a way to refi it out soon after (which does not always prove to be easy with most lenders seasoning requirements).

I've been told by a couple of agencies that they want seasoned agents.Any opinions from other agents/brokers in the east bay?

There will be no "seasoning" in your ownership.
