U can have apartment complex's that are 100% subsidized and those are free market properties NOT low income govie bond issue type deals like we see here.I don't know enough otherwise, so I agree. 

It can generate better returns, or at least more predictable returns than other asset classes like stocks, bonds, crypto, and other alternatives. 

They handle everything, Bond, Liability, Commercial vehicle, Comp, HO insurance and builders risk.

Some states require a long formal court process, during which time the person in charge (executor or administrator, aka personal representative) may have certain interim powers to sell real estate before distributing to heirs or beneficiaries.Other States make it possible to get a single court order distributing real estate to heirs or beneficiaries without the need of the lengthy interim (formal) probate.Still other States permit a really informal, simplified method of transferring real estate from a deceased person to their heirs without court involvement.Hence, you you've got to know the State, the basics rules for that State and what's required to purchase in order to know when the sweet spot to market to a probate seller is.

Just be patient with the process and know that some sellers may chose a non-VA buyer due to the lengthy underwriting process.

The initial effect on mortgage rates was a subtle increase in long term bond yields, however in comparison to earlier this summer residential and commercial mortgage rates are down considerably.For example commercial lenders were in the 7%++ range just a few months ago, and recently are as low as 5.5%-6% and falling.

This could include rental properties, REITs, or your primary residence.Fixed Income: 15-25%This includes bonds, CDs, and other low-risk investments.

This is basically you paying into a bond that will pay damage and lost rents if you are unable to the landlord but this isn't a collective of money pooled together for the common good. 

Moreover it will make it nearly impossible to grab a better investment as forking over nearly 10k/year in cash makes adding to your portfolio (stocks, bonds, real estate) nearly impossible unless you make very good wages.If it's inclusive of all expected expenses, you're in a good position and you should probably hold on to it.
