I had an investment property that burned down recently.  

That being said, I'm part of an experienced Syndication Group who invests not only in Multifamily, but also different asset classes:  Self Storage, Mobile Home Park, RV Park, and Retail - all to diversify the investment offerings.Reach out, and the next time we have an LP capital raise, I will send you the OM (and obviously info on our company) to review.

I've been burned by this once before, but it's just less stress on me with this informal policy.

I have seen so many investors get burned.

Electric, I have no idea…I don’t want to turn on the utilities, leave for the night and the place is either burned to the ground or flood.

Central Birmingham has a lot of boarded up/burned down homes throughout the area which are deterrents for the rental side.

Mobile homes are relatively cheap.  

Fire can burn it down any moment, and we see fires way too much there.

Here is my current set up:1) ShowMojo for managing the self showing listings (It has some self showing anti-fraud services, syncs with smart lockbox to issues codes, etc etc)2) CodeBox Jr smart lockbox where I have the keys3) ReoLink Go Plus Cellular Camera with a $5 per month T mobile data only sim card.

If you burn your agent now, who knows how the relationship will be later on.I like the idea of raising the price so all of your closing costs are paid and so is your agent.
