I know insurance rates have gotten rough these past years but if you don't have insurance all would take is one house fire for you to take a massive loss.

There's no massive swings going on here, just consistent growth.

I suspect there would be massive blow back if the feds attempt to lower sec 8 rental assistance. 

Zillow Senior Economist Orphe Divounguy nailed it when he said mortgage rates have a massive impact on affordability.

Do you have any projections for what will happen with the insurance market for this year, or is it even possible to project? 

It wasn’t a massive deal—our expected assignment fee was $10,000—but when you’re growing a business, every opportunity matters.Everything seemed to be moving smoothly until the title search revealed a major roadblock: the mortgage discharge couldn’t be cleared because the person who needed to sign off was deceased.

My job is our sole income and I get relocated for projects frequently so any property would have to be managed remotely (willing to invest anywhere in the states).Given the our situation above and our long term goals, I feel best next steps would be a heavy emphasis on networking and deal analysis.

However I can leverage 80% or more of my real estate to create massive holdings which I can’t do with stocks.

AND just because you have experience and a “good deal” doesn’t mean you will be successful trying to syndicate the deal.The first criteria is does the sponsor have the general knowledge and experience in real estate, and the specific knowledge and experience in the property type/location to give the project the best shot at success?
