I will call around and see what my options are to shop for competitive rates that are available through lenders.

Hi all,In my recent HML shopping, only one is willing to lend to an Individual while the others require an Entity.

And that is, if you have buyers on the line right now and can close your sales before May 31 you'll get an extended period for your shopping and identification period. 

I may have to shop around a bit more.

My wife attempted a small consignment shop in a strip mall, it lasted two years.

Maybe we can meet some time and talk "shop".

My brother and I own adjacent waterfront lots on a highly developed lake. 

They had to shop vac out several gallons of water each time. 

Most of the other resorts are farther out from shopping and restaurants.

To flesh out your decision a bit more, you might want to think about this in a little more depth.Go into both areas from 10 am to well past dark and drive the areas.Visit the grocery stores and fast foods, a few times each day and see what you think of the areas population.Talk to some shop owners in the area and get their view on the locals.Because these are the people who will be your renters.Do the look like they can pay the rent, (decent vehicles, decent clothing) or does the people look like they are struggling.Think about if this is this an area you want to do business in -->(long term)<--?
