There are some big players in the drop-shipping space.

There is a one bedroom condo in _______, which is across the street from the Resort Center which grossed $43,000.

that will tell a lot.. the mastermind i went to you had to prove how many deals you were doing they checked you out and you had to be invited... and there definitely was some of the top players in the industry there and quite a few that we know on BP as top providers in their space be it turn key  financing and wholesaling and also those that sell coaching.. ( which most on BP dont care for frankly)

This can help you add layers or change little things to tweak the calculations.There have to be plenty of real estate investors in SA, ask around and see who the players are. 

I recently bought a condo tel in the Palms of Destin resort.

All this CPA, SEO is foreign to me but all the big players (Gurus) use SEO to build their portfolio.

On top of that you'll be responsible for a variety of other fees like HOA, taxes, services fee, utilities fee, misc resort fees etc etc.  

Great guy...comes off with a strong personality at first(6'7" 375 lbs - Vandy ex-football player) but is a great asset for me.

Del, Flipping takes a lot of money, no way around it, Hard Money should be a last resort, banks lend on commercial notes, that's what I do when I need to borrow for a flip, generally 80% of purchase and I find the fix up, the 20% can be floated on an equity line on other properties, or against vehicles if need be, best is cash,  if you use hard money, figure all the costs in your flip, and re-uping the note if need be, Good Luck.

I'm thinking about focusing on that niche and set a goal to buy a larger motel/resort ($1-2M purchase price) with a path to expand beyond that later as well.
