Do you provide move in and move out reports How many pictures do you take of the property prior to tenant moves in and after the tenant moves outDo you get weekly reports when the property is vacant what prospective tenants are saying about your homeDo you provide monthly newsletters to your tenantsDo you hold investor education classes to help me become a better investorDo you have single point portfolio based management services?

I can't think of a better syndicator to invest with, frankly.

Figure you are paying $6K in insurance for 5 years (assuming it doesn't go up) plus whatever the deductible is...is it better to save that money and should you need a new roof, pay for it yourself? 

Many others are moving here for better prices.

Personally, if your market tends toward the former condition (better/normal appreciation) I think it's a fairly safe deal looking at the long term, assuming infrastructure around you continues to support the idea of renting it.

Real estate seems to be capital intensive.I think having a business plan, being financially ready to invest, and knowing your end-game before starting will put that person in a better position than others.
