Are there dozens of identical properties that have been setting on the market for months or years?

And I'll tell them that I suspect drugs and theft.

It's intellectual theft!

I think that many people get caught up in their own personal identity and when they finally learn that their retirement assets can purchase real estate directly while maintaining the tax advantages.

We use an alarm system on the house also so we haven't had any issues with theft. 

What is appropriate is a properly constructed package built on a solid commercial policy form with the ability to offer appropriate coverage for assets under any stage of occupancy or renovation, a simple monthly reporting format with no minimum earned premiums, the ability to waive co-insurance requirements, with no location limits, with the ability to insure multiple controlling entities, offer coverage in all 50 states, special form coverage with theft and vandalism and the ability to actually reduce premiums incrementally by aggregating locations, just to name a few little things.Hope this helps.

From insurance stand point, however, you will be able to get more covered (such as theft and vandalism) and if your location is in a better area.

.- I prefer Irving / Las Colinas (my wife works in uptown Dallas, but I still want to be linked to the Ft.

We are looking in the Ft Washington, Upper Marlboro, and local to Andrews AFB we want to be in good area as we do plan to live there for a little.

However,  turnover, maintenance, vacancy, theft, & vandalism costs are higher than normal.People make money in the area, but you have to be cautious.
