Michelle B.If you find and buy a deal yourself you are not slicing off equity into your pocket and sending the deal out to others.

Well, I'll take a shot at what's left, Avoiding probate, no, your Will and/or Trust goes to probate, it is usually approved if proper allowing such to be carried out instead of probate slicing and dicing up your assets for distribution.

Although I am not in the FL market, I am in NOLA where we have the same issues with few companies insuring here...or not taking new clients...and insurance is ridiculously expensive no matter how you slice it.I only have one duplex and, the first two years I owned it, it was covered by FOUR different insurance companies! 

That said, Wunderlist is the best thing since sliced bread.  

There are many other strategies and tactics that you can employ (pizza by the slice, etc.) however my instincts tell me that you have a family of trust beneficiaries that were never 100% on board with the plan.

However I sliced and diced it, this would not make a good rental.Unfortunately, I was not able to talk to the winner as he left right after he won.

Or you could own 30 doors in a B class neighborhood that 'cash flow' $10,000 per month with stable tenants, little to no headache, and minimal deferred maintenance.Plus no matter what way you slice it, scaling to 100+ doors is very capital intensive.

I see this potentially affecting the cash flow investor though and the trickle down to the fix and flip sell to a landlord developer and or the wholesaler who is trying to cut a big slice out of cash flow rentals..

It now appeals to a smaller slice of the public but that slice love it all the more. 

I just do not play in that space as I am doing 3,5 10 million dollar deals.The government has criteria typically one million or more net worth not including the house is around what they consider an accredited investor which is why I had that under A and B but I agree the passive investor portion of the site needs more work.Ultra high net worth is generally 25 million or more.For passive investors I am not looking for 25k slices at a time.
