Hi @Katie Lyon,Properties are typically still selling in Cape Coral right now to active buyers, even with elevated inventory.

Those failures are  more negligent than a PM allowing a guest who paid with expectation to stay at the house to remain there in the middle of winter when they arrived on a Friday evening as you described.For now you will have to rely upon insurance, I don't believe the PM acted unreasonably given the circumstances.

This will simply causes prices to be even higher, and continue to constrict demand... 

Even in your area, you may meet other out of state investors so you have more context for when you talk to the people who will make up your team there.

Even if one has to provide the education to some of the parties as to why a particular creative solution makes a win-win-win for all. 

The idea is simple: purchase a property, live in one part, and rent out the rest to offset your mortgage or even generate profit.

I recommend continuing to learn pros and cons of each and determine which paths (I pluralize it as you should diversify even across real estate).

Our professional incentives are fundamentally different, which makes a meaningful discussion about financial strategy even more critical.I also have to ask: Are you ever curious about financial strategies other than insurance?

Even though we live in earthquake country, this was a new experience for us.

Areas near oil production hubs could experience economic booms, creating localized opportunities for real estate investments.Beyond these broader economic initiatives, Bessent has been vocal about extending or even expanding the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).
