Patricia, you should get educated before taking a plunge into the business. Commercial real estate business is a different beast. Do you even know how motels are priced?

You have to narrow it down some. Your question is too broad, general, and all-encompassing.\n\nYou interested in Mutual Funds, Debt Instruments, real estate, gold coins, antique autos, what? I could sell you a condominium in Florida. Please contact me.

The folks to contact on this issue are the Department of Business and Professional Regulation - Division of Florida Land Sales, Condominiums and Mobile Homes:\nhttp://www.state.fl.us/dbpr/lsc/index.shtml\n\nThere is also a section of the State of Florida website devoted to other housing-related groups and issues:\nhttp://www.stateofflorida.com/Portal/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=48\n\nYou may be able to find more assistance there.\n\nHope this helps!

Can't help you with the license side of it but can tell you from a business perspective now is the time to make it happen. Land is remarkable cheap to include key areas such as Biloxi and Ocean Springs. Your major hurdle will be getting materials to job sites...it's my understanding I-10 and State 90 are both still closed or at limited capacity making it hard to get lumber, etc down there.

I bought a timeshare vacation from them.  Basically the girl left me a message and said, "$99 vacation, please call this #"  So I did.  So the guy on the phone answered and said "Sure, $200 vacation".  So I said, "No, the girl said $99"  So we haggled back and forth until we came to the $99 agreement.  I got 3 vacations, one to Cocoa beach, one to Orlando, and one to Cancun.  I only got to use the first two in the 2 year period and I thought it was worth it.  And get this, I didn't even have to do the time share presentation.\n\nLong story short, do your reasearch on them first, then haggle with them as much as you can because if they can give you a deal they will if you act like your going to hang up.  \n\nThere is always that chance that its a scam so use your discretion.

I think it just okaloosa county, you can always buy over the internet or through a catalog.  Your in the panhandle right? pensacola and Panama city would probably have something, maybe maybe not.  But dont go to alabama the hardest you'll get there is penthouse, maybe a hustler.

The two best sources for hotel properties would be brokers who specialize in hotel properties (hospitality properties), such as:\n\nCB Richard Ellis at www.cbre.com/USA\nor www.motelhotelbroker.com\n\nDepending on how much money your father has, he might be able to contact a Hospitality REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) and see what they are selling.  They normally have larger investment grade properties, but you never know.  You can check out www.nareit.com for a list of hospitality REIT's.

Go to the city and do a title search for ownership then try to trace down the current owners of the property. Then wheel and deal! You may need a commercial real estate broker though. Good Luck! I grew up in Amarillo. I Love those small old town motels! History!

If it seems to good to be true then where's the catch?  I have owned apartment buildings before, and if you are around long enough you get to know people in the banking business.  At one point I got to know the vice-president in charge of real estate at Hudson City Savings Bank in New Jersey. I had already been a party to one transaction with the bank, a 29-unit half-abandoned building in Jersey City.  One day he offered me a property, and suggested I go take a look at it.  Turns out it was a massive brick apartment building, totally abandoned, sitting on on entire city block just off Bergenline Avenue in Jersey City.  As I recall it had something like 42 apartments.  He offered to sell me the building for just one dollar.\n\nI turned him down.  That is as close to 'no money down'as you can get, heck, this was no money at all, yet even at that price it was a terrible deal.  Sure, you can get these things for no money, I've been there, but you better have access to massive amounts of capital for renovation and upgrades, and I'm talking anywhere from tens of thousands to millions.  If you don't have the means to carry it and improve it, you better think twice before you get into something that can literally slay you.\n\nA lot of the real estate moguls who sold seminars on no money down deals in the late 70s and 80s ended up bankrupt, which ought to tell you something.

You should access the main web site of the hotel that you wish to create a franshise with -- if they offer franchises they will have a link.  If that fails, you should contact the hotel directly.\n\nFailing that, you could access a franchise offering site like http://www.franchisesolutions.com/index.cfm/fa/matrix/subcat/140 to see what is available.

There are people who have joined my company that used to work with Mary Kay.  The average Mary Kay representative buys serverl hundred dollars if not thousands to stock an inventory.  They also have a hard time because so many people are represenatives of Mary Kay and there simply is not enough business to go around.  Many times they were unable to return unsold items due to color changes where they discontinues some items and the representative is simply stuck with it.  I have a very interesting comparison between my company and Mary Kay if you would be interested.  I don't know about Beauticontrol or Jafra but I believe they are less over done.  \nIf you live in the U.S. or Canada I have a company you may be interested in.   I work with Stayin Home and Lovin It! and they are partnered with a wellness company that is 21 years old and in good standing with the Better Business Buerau.  The make products that are healthier non-toxic and environmentally safer.  They have a complete cosmetic line, and they sell so many other products also, including cleaning supplies, shampoo, toothpaste, deoderant, vitamins, health bars, laundry soap, candles, bubble bath, soaps, and so much more.  All your necessities you buy everyday.  With this company you do not stock any products, or make any deliveries.  You enroll customers to shop direct and their purchases are delivered to their door.  Then you recieve a commission for everything that customer buys and long as they are buying.  You can have the home parties if you like to enroll customers to show off the products.  The products are at a reasonable price, many I found to be cheaper than what I was buying before.  If you are interested in researching this company further go to http://healthybetterme.com/  and fill out the request to get more information.  There is no risk of losing anything with this company and no big investment.  I hope you find what you are looking for.
