This is my WHY - my purpose for wanting to build a lasting portfolio of exceptional cash flowing properties. 

Quote from @Andy Port: I'm currently looking to take some money out of traditional investments and begin investing directly into real estate as a passive investor on syndicated deals.The internet is pretty much copy-paste with advice on how to access real estate and defaults to saying "Just invest in a REIT - its the same" except you pay for the entire pool of existing properties (even if they have low yields in less opportunistic areas), the entire management team's multi-million dollar salary and their private jet, etc...

Such tenants are the exception, not the norm.

Thank you kindly for this exceptional advice! 

There will always be exceptions of course.

So you have a gap between handing your check over to the Cryer for the sale and when you get the deed and there is no title insurance.. you can buy aftermarket after the fact title insurance but if there is any gotchas on title when you bought those will be exceptions.

There is a proration available for a couple of exceptions when you haven't lived there for 2 out of 5. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been changing the world as we know it and the real estate industry is no exception.

.: There seems to be a glut of STRs in every major market, yet there are RE agents out there telling people that there is demand.I agree, except I've never heard agents pushing AirBnB. 

I fix all legitimate issues in my properties, with exception to ice makers.
