Up north the gas company will install additional meters for a very low cost, usually hourly billed time for the work and possibly low cost equipment.

Its a long term low cost play for me.

Here is your tip:Buy low and sell high, also don't eat the yellow snow.

my market is near the nation low in both evictions and delinquent rent even with very tenant friendly laws.  

The small multi family space (4-20 units) seems to be less crowded, but those deals can be hard to manage unless they’re within a couple of hours from where you live so you could manage or turn it yourself if you had to. 

And for example there was a Crowd Street deal (Nightingle) where the sponsor omitted losses from their claimed track record (and ultimately was fraud...they never even bought the claimed property).And there appeared to be some difficulty or confusion with obtaining the full and complete track record ( including both realized and unrealized deals).

Focusing solely on numbers often leads to the purchase of low-quality properties.

You got only 4 bookings from Airbnb because your ranking is really low on Airbnb.

I will follow the advice here to keep high deductibles and low premium and save the premium for any contingencies later.

I am not opposed to the idea but definitely need to get more educated on the details such as where exactly, is it too crowded of a space, how to be competitive, maintenance requirements for a beach rental, etc.
