I get involved in A LOT of side discussions (when a thread goes off the rails and away from the original post) on BiggerPockets.

Also, the costs involved.

If so, would you be willing to share the terms and how it worked out for all parties involved? 

The time to get tenant insurance involved (if they have it, we require it) would be before the claim is filed.

The repair work will likely involve the removal of drywall in order toperform repairs.

It just seems that with all the work and risk involved in finding your own property, managing contractors, and then finding and managing the property manager, the return on the SFR investment should be signifcantly higher than the syndication. 

Given our diverse economy of both commodities and tech, I think we will do fine if the world decides to go multi polar or even isolatonist. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

But you'd have to be quite involved initially, especially to get access to better SBA lending. 

We're involved in a curriculum right now, and are also reading a bunch of books and binging on Bigger Pockets podcasts.
