Don't be surprised if leases are signed in January for the following year.  

I am surprised by the CoreLogic study from 2017. 

The key here is to know what's in your HOA documents.Generally what happens in a situation like this is that you would make a claim on your insurance and then they would subrogate it to the responsible party (either the HOA or the other unit owner), so I'm surprised that your insurance company is giving you the run around.Make sure you've got a written statement from YOUR plumber indicating where the plumbing fault came from and, before you patch the drywall, get the HOAs plumber in to look as well (if they have one).  

I would suggest using your strengths as insurance analyst and your passion in real estate to get conversions going and you might be surprised where it may lead you!

It means you won't have to deal with the questions about what's behind the walls, or any surprise rehab costs, since its all built into the purchase price.

I'm surprised by all the answers It is very common to delay closing when there is a hurricane in the area of the property even if you are closing 1000 miles away. 

For example, I know a guy that only buys multifamily, but comes across good single family deals all the time.I'm surprised by the people that turn to Wholesalers instead of realtors.  

You may already know this, (you would be surprised how many of my clients don't before we meet) but in commercial, the buyer / tenant (in most cases) does not pay any of the commission from the transaction.

I would be surprised if having a bonded towing service either impound or immobilize the vehicle would be construed as theft.

I have no idea what kind of change to expect in the rate but I would be surprised if there was none.
