If I may, a lot of the issues we are running into with insurance is that consumers no longer use insurance as a catastrophic fall back but rather, they nickel and dime on small claims that compund into larger issues. 

Sure they paid me both times, but that's exactly what a ponzi would do.Thanks I would be mortified if any of my investors even had a thought in the back of their head that I was running a Ponzi scheme.

Another reason is I would like to hit the ground running.

I’ve hit multiple home runs off deals I found on LoopNet.

I realize that everyone will run a MTR business differently and I prefer to learn from different operators and develop my own technique 

I have managers run the day to day but I still oversee everything from afar.

@Dallas Smith, With some good running of the numbers by your accountant this can work. 

for infill I concentrated on Charleston Sc and built about 35 homes in that market. uber competitive for dirt though they are running out of it and the city wont let you tear down homes in many cases because of historic considerations.

For example, if you are buying in an area that is in are 1980s and above, you might run into a roof that is tile and the paper under the tile needs to be replaced the day you close.

I am not exactly sure what my goal is for the long run, but for the time being I'm looking to get a roommate, then after 2 years, to fully rent out my place and hopefully get some cash flow.
