From what I have tried to read from a non partisan site (tough to find nowadays) I believe the issue has been insurance companies lost billions in the past five years and the past 5-10 years have had the most costly fires ever.

I attempted to provide the most transparent and up to date information on this site. 

An example of one package we have is a Romantic Package - $199. 12 Balloons (buy the helium tanks and keep balloons on site for your team or use a local shop)Rose Petal Entry Way (bought off Amazon)2 Dozen Roses (local grocery store for $10-15 each dozen)Led Candle Display (bought off amazon and reusable)I Heart U Signs (amazon and reusable)Champagne (or wine if they want)This equals around $60-70 each time and we pay our cleaner $40 to set up.

I have a 35 unit townhouse site that we entitled and will probably sell.

Conceptually you want to take an approach that minimizes your need to be on site - and for that reason I would advise against BRRRR.

Sometimes things are left on the work site and local hoodlums sneak in and take them.

One of the sites I like to check (https://apartmentloanstore.com/seattle/washington/cap-loan-r...) peg this between 5.15% and 5.70% (assuming it's in the suburbs).

For the community development dept, you'll need proper plans (architect), site survey, permits, etc. when you're ready. 

There are plenty of entry roles from cold calling, scrubbing data and find deals for investors, leasing assistant, work on construction sites, office admin, project coordinator, Title assistant, RE photographer, transaction coordinator.. on and on. 

.- If you hold a rental until death, you can pass it on with a stepped-up cost basis, limiting captial gains if then sold (limited by inheritance tax limitations).Too many newbies on this site trying to replace their day job income via "passive" real estate investing w/o digging deep enough to understand how it really works.
