@Christopher Tanner I would be interested in something like that from a consumer standpoint but also from a development standpoint possibly.

Real estate investing can be time consuming and hard work especially in the beginning but once you do a few deals it will get easier and you will learn ways to make your real estate investing much easier.

While this plays a role it really dried up at the consumer level about 1.5 yrs ago so this is a less of a factor for 2024.

I recently retired from my occupation due to health issues and would like to get started in real estate investing.  

Depending upon that, and your financial health I would just recommend hanging tight and adding another avenue of future income.

It will just be more time consuming and error prone. 

I'm searching for an insurance professional to discuss the concept of negotiating group purchasing property insurance for a discount (similar to what is done through health care via employers).Are there regulations that would make this prohibitively difficult in the property insurance industry?
