I've developed a few sites that were 5 acres plus industrial builds.

I think what folks are trying to advise here is that you need to make sure you're dealing with an agent who knows policy language, has good experience in the industry, and knows how to help you and protect you at the same time.Hope you find this helpful. 

With over 20 years in the business and 3,500+ transactions under my belt, I'm always looking to connect with others in the industry.

I am already seeing industry shifting towards both models. 

The Zoom conferences, corporate breakdowns, and ongoing educational sessions, many of which involve seasoned attorneys and industry professionals, are constant.

It was a bit of a nightmare negotiating as I am considered self-employed and of course during 2020 the entertainment industry was completely shut down.

If you are going to select a Realtor, Banker, Wholesaler select them based on industry knowledge, tenure and success in their field.I offer this in an effort to avoid lost money and most importantly lost time...

It is the most popular software in the industry and all CPAs know how to navigate it which is nice.

I finally found one at 20% higher than I was paying, but with a higher deductible and greatly reduced coverages (loss of rent from one year to 3 months, liability from $500K to $300K, everything else cut or excluded).Personal opinion (I work in insurance) and those of pretty much everyone I've spoken to in the industry feel we are at least a few years away from anything softening. 

I wouldn't recommend jumping into the industry and charging a fee when you don't have set systems and processes yet---could leave a bad reputation.Another option is investing in a coaching program and having people who have already succeeded in this industry guide you in the co-hosting space.
