@Mike Rodriguez Welcome to BiggerPockets, a place to interact with a vibrant REI group, learn the real estate business and language at near zero cost.

On Zillow I see houses that sit in the market for 1+, 2, or even 3 years and up, and the price reduction can be as much as 30%, with some Zestimate @ 50% of asking price.One agent told me this is the result of the 100%-discretionary nature of 2nd home area.  

Nonetheless, interacting as often as you can and also getting to link with other people in your area could help you out in your investing.

Be sure to interact with the community often and show your progress!

For anyone to be culpable for any loss suffered by another, they must have acted in a reckless manner or have been negligent, acts of God such as  storms or natural disasters are not events mortals are culpable for, speak to your clergy for guidance.
