Used to play basketball w you at the y in gig harbor.

I don't know much about building and flipping seems like intense amounts of time followed by calm.

I needed to be able to do some intensive data-gathering but it was extremely difficult to find an agent that understood what I was looking for and could provide the data.  

I have had much success with the short term vacation rental income / model with my properties in the South Florida area (particularly Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale Beach) that I am launching a vacation rental management business for others with a licensed broker.Vacation rental management can be intimidating and management intensive.

The investing is on the side so I prefer commercial with triple net leases which is much less time intensive than residential properties. 

For fun I like to play basketball, go skiing 4.

It is a very management intensive business to operate but there is money to be made if you have the right systems in place.

I'm nowhere near saying Go Jazz, as I am in no way, a basketball fan.

Here is a formula that one insurance agent gave me:Total Insured Value (TIV) = Replacement Cost + Business IncomeReplacement Cost = Total SQFT * cost per SQFTBusiness Income = Monthly Rent * # of months (max 6)Units of Insurance (UI) = TIV/1000Property Premium = UI * Rate, where rate is region-specificGeneral Liability = # of Units * unit rate ($53) + ($1000 per pool, $500 per park, playground, tennis court, or basketball court)General Liability numbers are region-specificAnother popular insurance estimate is $300-350/unit

No point in investing without it unless you are only looking to park cash.Investing in university towns does produce above average returns however you must be prepared to be very hands on as it is more management intensive.
