Best beach in the USA, Best location on the best beach, All the beachfront property is full developed out, Direct flight from America's wealthiest state, and there's a lot of room for increases on the vacation rental rates.  

Especially if you’re buying an investment property with a high ticket price, a buyer’s earnest money deposit, or EMD, can be quite a large sum.

Great fishing, great golf and many (short) flights from the US and a very large new airport and convention center.

Your back story is inspiring and I know that if you just stick with REI through good times and bad you will one day open that candy bar and find that golden ticket. 

I'm only really worried about the big ticket items that come up, that I may not be prepared for.

One way to deploy maybe to get some sales or leads is to use bootleg signs that you can set outFriday evening and pick up on Sunday night to avoid the enforcers and getting tickets.  

Have a safe flight!

Proper identification of tenants is also needed if you want any chance of having local code enforcement write tickets against the tenant and not the owner.Any Legal Action Documents: you’ll definitely want to know if the current landlord is evicting or suing the current tenant(s).

Two plane tickets, 2 hotel stays, 2 car rentals, blah, blah, blah.

Reserve claims for BIG ticket items.
