As mentioned, it's a VERY difficult class to insure right now.

My family and I currently live in a small podunk town in Iowa, which I truly can't wait to move from, and we rarely come across money like this (we're basically as middle as middle-class can get). 

However, it's important to do some more research to determine your goals and identify the asset class that appeals to you the most.

We update our lease constantly and our attorney reviews it annually, I feel this is the best route and so do most of the instructors at CE classes that I attend.

@Yehuda Bochner which asset class?

Im all for creativity to get deals, but this ..this was vile.Jason spent less than an hour at the end of the class half-@ssedly rushing through his biggest selling point.. a negotiating strategy he calls the 'seller waltz', which turned out to be nothing more than rushing through the list of creative real estate structures should the seller not accept your cash offer… “Oh, you don’t like my cash offer.. what abouuut this?!

I couldn't have predicted this nine months ago, but I'm smart enough to predict things like this will happen eventually and I plan accordingly. also highly dependent on class of asset.. where in the country it is. and tenant base your renting to.. your mileage may or will vary depending on these variables.

@Michael Bishay your biggest challenge will be getting your expected ROI out of Class C & D properties.S8 vouchers aren't necessarily a guaranteed solution. 

Small multi family is generally the most attractive asset class for out of state investors here as it provides a nice balance of cash flow with reasonable purchase price
