@Joel Owens  to follow up this site is predominately landlord roof over your head site..its not a place where commercial developer dwell.and the friends of mine that are in commercial IE own a mall or  strip centers etc.. tend to be self financed more family office type money .. and then on the office space i tend to see bigger REITS and BIG family offices like Schoenstien from SF etc in our market.these companies dont know about BP and travel in different circles. not that there are not a lot of well to do BP members etc becasue there are.. just that its a niche space.. and as Joel pointed out this is predominantly roof over your head type investments for people to live in.. 

Vanessa Allsup try NREIG - they gave me a much better price on my ATL triplex than I originally had with Geico/Travellers and I like that you can access all of your paperwork easily online - very user friendly.

We (husband and I) enjoy meeting with local investors or investors wanting to be more local.Enjoy the rest of your travels!

When I travel by to see the house in person, it had curtains up as if someone lives there.

We rent it out on Airbnb when we travel and have made between 15-20K per year.

Minimal time to manage your investment, no A/C or heater expense, and don't need to update the finishes as much as pretty much anywhere on the mainland.I travel back to Oahu 1-2x per year.

I travel with work, building project up and down the east coast.

Put a lot of the little extras in there that don't cost much but that people appreciate for good reviews (a coffee maker with pods, an ironing board, a few snacks , a sixpack of local beer, etc).Also, I use Airbnb to rent out my basement apt to tourists and to find places to stay when I travel.  

I like Traveler's better  for claims, property premiums were much higher with Traveler's though. 

and for the past 3 years have been living out of our converted van to save money and travel the country.
