Interests: - I am personally seeking a boutique, high-end oceanfront resort with strong cash flow and direct beach/marina access. - Prioritises premium locations with exceptional views, waterfront frontage, and existing marina facilities. - Must have professional management in place, as I intend to operate as a mostly absentee owner in semi-retirement. - While top-tier properties are preferred, I am open to reviewing a wide range of opportunities that meet core criteria.
