@Victoria TorresLooking at your profile, it shows that you have an investment in a foreign country.There are unique tax laws when having investments in a foreign country.

Check in your community for a "Welcome Wagon" usually run by civic organizations or chamber of commerce.

You've got to be organized, and be able to respond quickly when the lender asks for items.

I have no knowledge of the Palm Bay, FL market but I do have other broker friends in Florida.Florida is unique from what they tell me in that instead of one or two mls's many counties have their own private mls.A bunch of REO stuff has been worked through already.

If I am hearing both of you correctly, don't be deceived by higher vacation rental income as there are costs that are unique to this type of rental.

Therefore we have are several savings and checking accounts with them in order to keep things organized.

The apartment is in good condition, with lots of nifty upgrades (new cabinets, closet organizers, etc), in a great location, and very close to major area employers.

I've sent an EDDM before and the response rate was quite low, but I think I missed an opportunity to stand out and deliver an exciting, unique message.

I have had good success with Jones Act Tax Sales in New Jersey (it is its own unique beast in NJ OTC liens) but it is much more intensive and tougher to find deals.

Everyone needs to understand that there are enough laws out there to nail anyone if the powers to be want you nailed, there really isn't some unique law or regulation that will be avoided the same way for multiple operators, your case will always be different.Walking a thin line is a risk assessment, the parties involved, the intent of the parties, their financial position,  and experience, what is customary in your area, political views and opinions of your local courts, the degree of a violation, the public harm at risk, if any losses were suffered and other implications of you following some loophole.
