I would just like to say that I am excited for what I am going to learn through this website and I am more than happy to work with anyone in my area or take any mentoring that anyone is willing to offer.

@Jaime Pinedo North Texas has a ton to offer for vets - myself being one.

Of course I don't want to overwhelm you guys because I could be here all day but any information that you may be able to offer up would be ideal. 

In general, I would say that a duplex would be a better investment than the condo, but we are missing some important details to offer advice in this particular situation. 

I suspect you will need to offer a significant discount in order to find anyone who is willing to live in a summer time location for 6 months between Oct - Apr.On the other hand...I live in a college town and rent the apartment on the first floor of my two-family home by the semester during the academic portion of the year and as a vacation rental between Jun - Aug.

If you're looking for someone to help you out from a distance, I'd be willing to offer my assistance.

I'd be interested in seeing what you have to offer whenever you have something.

It wouldn’t hurt to offer enough down for the realtor to get paid.

There many a bedroom a community that have plenty of opportunities to offer.
