@Mark DiPietro how about his company, The Lion Group Int?

I'm a CT based investor, flipper and property management company owner.  

New companies like Intel, Amazon, and Google are also investing here.

I've also heard it can be a good thing to have some debt against a property because if any issues arise legally, the bank will be the first line of defense. 

HUD performed extensive due diligence on us, and had to approve us as buyer's and our management company and mangers.

Hey BP,I know this question has been asked often, but I've been struggling trying to find an investor-friendly insurance company.

I see a lot of 1 star reviews in your futureYou don't need a plumber, just get the PM company to send a maintenance guy.

The other quesiton i have is if private equity is starting to get involved in this market, companies like Apollo & Carlyle, does that change your feelings about getting involved in the space?

Another option you will see online are companies selling shares to sections or lots of trees via a tree plantation management company.  

They are billed as "a scientific approach to single-family rentals" and use "institutional grade property management," which usually means they are a tech company in real estate and likely either don't have the existing property management relationships in each area or you chose an area where they don't have enough units through Roofstock for the PM they chose to care.
