So my research has been shifted. 

(like text shifting in from right to left)?

@Bryan Mitchell thank you so much for your perspective!

The comments on this thread are definitely giving me some perspective, and it sounds like we'll be better off focusing on a more stable area for our first deal.

Now I have the pleasure of not being at the starting point and have a few properties so my perspective is different.

My bad guys, poorly worded, I am a potential INVESTOR not the syndicator on this deal.What are your thoughts from the INVESTOR perspective?

You can continue to work with wholesalers and realtors that care MOSTLY about their commissions or fees and not so much about the success of their clients.The market has shifted here and there are TONS of buyers waiting on the sidelines and contacting agents & wholesalers on the regular to do the "dirty work", so to speak. 

I'd especially want to see 1- and 2-year trend data, since some sub-markets here can shift on a dime.

@Mike HoherchakFrom an ROI perspective, the ROI tends to increase as you borrow more money --- at least at the pro forma level.

MY perspective on Margaritaville is that it is for people that want to own in Margaritaville and offset the cost of ownership.
