Last week I was chatting at a party with a State Farm agent (not my local agent) who clued me in that State Farm will write commercial policies for STRs, including SFH owned by an individual or trust. 

This applies to house hunters for construction crews (or high-value individuals), insurance claim relocation specialists, and nursing contract placement coordinators. 

Why not invest in a fund or syndication vs. a single individual?

Not having individual meters is simply unprofessional.

If you do this, plumb and wire each one to the individual units to keep your costs down.

The social engineers (lawmakers and their special interest handlers) stifle and discourage growth, individual liberty, and confiscate property (your hard earned income), they are absolutely crazy.

Even as a seller focused or listing broker, providing investors with live mortgage rates, programs and accurate resources has proven essential to maximizing transactional incentive and client conversion throughout the years..Although I've never actually executed dual duties on any single transactions (and don't think most investors want to entrust that responsibility to a individual party - nor would I want it!)

It's not a get rich quick trick.

Yes Grayson,Cashflow is hard to come by now.You shouldn't be looking at real estate to get rich tomorrow or gain massive amounts of capital now.But as you own the property for years the rents will increase, the asset price will rise, and your loan balance will go down.

Joining local real estate investment groups can be a great way to meet like-minded individuals and learn from their experiences.Start Small: Consider beginning with a single-family rental or a small multifamily property.
