It can also be safer to diversify your investment properties across the country.

Can you shop the insurance?

You can use it as a general guide, but the single best way to understand fair rent is by physically mystery shopping your competition.We typically get higher rents than average and consistently more than rentometer or Zillow would suggest, but we are also offering a nicer product.

In light of current high rate environment, if you were an investor/developer, and you were about to start a 30 unit residential/commercial mixed use property (ground level a few shops, rental apartments upstairs), what percent of rate return are you expecting for your initial capital? 

C/E shop, I’m with Samson and have been very happy, just a word of caution, it’s gonna run about 2k-3k a year just to pay for all your subscribers, mls, sentry etc, I suspect these will be going up substantially as a result of the agents leaving the industry, meaning the need to get more from the remaining, if you get your license make sure you have a use for it, like you will either have a decent client base and/or you are doing your own deals & will save money that way.

Lots of new stores and shops going in and the market is on fire!!

If you are shopping single family vs condo, the HOA fees for condos could take it out of the running.

We were currently spending $850/mo for a local 1000 sqft garage space that was being used for storage and shop purposes.

Which I will do now.You didn't do anything "incorrectly" I just believe you'll end up with better results this way for any insurance needs.Very difficult to shop around on your own and rate hunt.
