Looks like I'm going to just have to get out there and earn my keep!

I'd suggest you be more concerned at earning income and keeping good credit than appreciation so you can qualify to borrow 90% of the value, you may get there with 10% equity in as little as 3 years, probably 5 years, you'd have to screw up not to get that in 10 years IMO.

Buhring your maad property management skills, and negotiate a fee and equity earn for your improving the property.Schweet no money down deals!

But most deals, the seller is responsible to pay the fee when it is earned, which can be by bringing a willing and able buyer to the table. :)

My opinion is that we are between the climb and the peak.

You can click on the 'vote' button if you like someone's post or is helpful, and there are 'awards' to earn on your profile.

If you rent it weekly or even daily during the peak beach months you may see a decent boost in rental income.

Many agents will be open to you handling the negotiation if you let them know you intend to increase their commissions by allowing them to earn on both the purchase and the resell..

Commercial (5+ units) are valued based on earnings.

I just finished taking a phlebotomy course, to have a higher earning income.
