I know this is also a National issue, especially in land constricted markets.

@Gil CanfuWith a $300k price range, you're definitely in a good position to find some solid investment opportunities in the North Texas market.

What marketing efforts are they going to do outside of just posting in the MLS.

Rental market is pretty strong, there are a lot of good economic drivers.

As you embark on this journey, you'll learn the importance of market research, the art of negotiation, and the power of leveraging assets.

My last deal was my first off market deal and when I contacted the sellers wife about the deposits she said that that was a given as part of a multi family sale and they’d write me a check at the closing as I requested because money was tight and I didn’t want a credit where I’d have to come up with the funds out of pocket later.

While you don’t have to decide this instant (you could always convert later) it’s good to have an idea of the market differences between mf and condos. 

The only two ways to rectify this are (1) purchase the property far below market price or (2) significantly increase the property net income usually through some method of “repositioning”. 

So overall experience of your QI to work in a number of markets and locations is really the key. 

I've never heard of Kin, but I too am in the market for short term rental insurance.
