For turnkey options it can also be a good idea to get ahead of the historical summer peak buyer push and not have to worry about getting a rental launched while most visitors are looking to stay for the night.For properties that require furnishing, the beginning of Spring is the optimal time for out of area or absentee investors to enjoy their property, familiarize themselves with their new home and their community and get operations and supplies dialed in.

Hi, I'm looking to start a new gator lending business.

It may just be a matter of what kind of lifestyle I'd like... but wondering if there are more lending options to use that equity that I don't know about/creative financing that may make it more interesting to hang on to.
