I use both, because I want to maximize my exposure.

I think you can gain a lot of exposure by joining local apartment owners association.

I would also recommend you setup an Airbnb account as well (if you don't already) to make sure you are maximizing your exposure.  

It was an overseas based syndication and there were too many year-end tax reporting questions that weren't fully answered and it had the potential to create a lot of problems reporting wise.I have very little doubt in my mind that this will be a very big industry in the near future so I've been anxious to gain exposure.

Putting the tax implications on the back burner...What is the legal exposure here? 

It's a simple blending of returns to minimize exposure and maximize returns. 

But, if you purchase one or two properties, you are going to have significant market exposure risk and specific property risk no matter where you choose.

When college is over, trust me, your face-to-face exposure is going to be much more limited, especially when it comes to real estate.

If you are interested in speaking with one of our agents about your exposure and the possibility of insuring the location, we’re happy to help.

Bob I have had a issue with floating floors being placed under the cabinets before, if they get wet by any means it going to cause a lot of future problems. so its better in my option to cut around the cabinets especially considering there are water lines in the sink cabinet, so exposure to water at some point is likely. although if it is tile I always place it beneath cabinets and vanities so for the simplicity of changing them out should a tenants destroy them or the dog eats the cabinet/vanity which actually recently happen, the only issue your going run into when you cut around the cabinets is if you need to replace it for any reason the cabinets are never the exact some size so thats why I prefer to use tile in any areas that would have cabinetry. hope this hopes and best of luck!
