We fell in love with the island as a family and know it pretty well now.

Can someone recommend a CPA who specializes in real estate investing as well as a real estate attorney?

It's more private, you don't need a do not disturb note on your door handle for someone not to bother you are 7:43 am on a Sunday.If you want to do well in STR now it's all about the amenities and experience.

Well,  for the past month I've been out bided on everything I bid on.

@Jose Guillu if it's too good to be true...well, you know the rest.  

We don't do well with armchair quarterbacks.

I totally value and want a property manager to take the day-to-day management off my hands, but on issues with tenant damage and I would like to be kept up to date on matters, as well as have copies of all notices provided to the tenants for my own record keeping.

I highly recommend staying well-informed about tenant/owner laws.

As a result assets will continue to appreciate.Using someone else's money allows you to leverage and buy assets NOW that will continuously go up in value, as well as increase a cash on cash return for yourself over time.

There are lots of price drops and even for well-priced homes it is taking much longer than one would expect.
