Plus I can bet your HOA won't like vacationers too much.

The house was stucco/flat roof, which is common for that area, and I'm more familiar with wood frame/siding/shingle construction, and since I was just checking things out in a general way, I wasn't doing full inspections.

Multi family units are of prime interest as well.My background is industrial construction management, presently on assignment in Northern British Columbia.

It's awesome when experienced guys join up - I bet you have a lot of knowledge that maybe you can help fill people in on about commercial real estate!

Had a construction contract with them, their work was disorganized, poorly managed, and they refused to prove to me they had done all of the work they were hired to do, because they hadn't done it.  

Your best bet is to list it on Craiglist and other similar classified websites and other means of advertising to your buyers.

So far I have found:Real estate agent- License requiredReal estate appraisal- Associate degreeProperty manager- Bachelor degreeDevelopment/Construction- (Couldn't find)What are some more options?

My problem is that I dont have a clue on how to construct a deal this way.

The heating system was turned off during construction and over a couple of weeks the system cooled down, the fittings loosened in the slab and the water drained out and pressurized the slab.

That's a challenge - I'm placing bets...
