The areas at most risk are many of the same regions where housing was hit hardest by the Great Recession, clustered in Southern California, the southwest, and Florida.

We have more people than I can count doing behind the scenes work to make it all run, hundreds upon hundreds of people and vendors.

I'm sure they are taking advantage of people.

Your situation is a little more complex than most people and I highly suggest you consult an attorney. 

I have warned countless people that the "new", "Cheapest", and "shaking up the insurance market" carriers typically come into the market under priced, have a wave of claims, then they either jack up premiums to survive or fire their staff to keep heads above water.

The rules are pretty complicated and the only people who really know all the terms and rules thoroughly are the Rent Levelling Board.Caveating that I’m not an attorney so go seek your own advice but I clarified a few things at a recent rent levelling hearing (which are open to the public and you can find the schedules with a simple Google).

Of the conversations I have had with people discussing hard money lending, some seemed opinionated in that the high interest rates and terms were enough to scare them off.

And a PM that manages 10k units as part of the GP entity, with equity invested, will be taken more seriously than a XYZ property management (who manages 200 units total) has said they are open to managing the property when I close.Lastly, even in the "easier" market timing of the early and mid 2010's, most people when they get started are looking at deals for about 18 months before the first one is awarded and closes. 

@John Clark hit it on the head.

I've found deals in local online groups on Facebook, simply asking people for what I want.
