I had outstanding partners.

True, I am 100% with you on that.The point here is, when you analyze, you do based on what you know now (what is known as a fact today) and on what is highly likely to happened (again from today) and to accept the fact that things might change tommrow.Life happened every day, that’s why  we need to stay firm with our direction but flexible with our approach.having lived through the HORRORS of those years fully engrossed in the industry almost nationwide... it was regional on who did well and who had troubles.. no question well positioned landlords in Portland for instance no issue.. 

@V.G Jason - This is an outstanding observation and analysis. 

It is entirely possible that every single professional in this directory is outstanding.

From the Great Recession to Q1 2022 it was easy to find RE that seemed very likely to produce outstanding return. 

Personally, I follow this standard for every application I receive:- Income of at least 3 times the monthly rent (verified through the employer)- Credit score of 580+- Rental verification with past landlords (no outstanding balances, no late payments, and the property left in acceptable condition)- No history of collections, evictions, or criminal offenses- No overdue debt (except medical debt)This process has helped me place quality tenants over the years.

A federal court in Texas issued a nationwide injunction, halting enforcement of the CTA just weeks before the January 1, 2025, deadline.2.

That said, if you only have a few "residential" rental buildings, most direct carriers can get you pretty low deductibles on their stand-alone policies (State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, Nationwide, etc.). 

But that’s what is making embers fly across neighborhoods today.Water is an issue nationwide.

The median home price is also very low nationwide which creates a low barrier to entry.
