Hey @Greg Snell, I commented in another thread offering some local connections with PM companies.

so he is really fubared either way on that score. undisclosed principal in a real estate transaction is a no no as well.Joe,, Indy is like any other big mid western rust belt city.. it has its great areas with 500 to multi million dollar homes its regentrifying areas were two chicks and a hammer work.. and we do as well.. then you have solid B class vinyl village 10 year to 20 year old stocksame thing applies here U buy D class hood properties your in trouble unless your a local hands on landlord.Morris advertises and markets D class as solid easy to manage just grateful for a place to live type properties.. he is just a bozo who has no real clue as to what he is talking about in the real estate space.. that's the bottom line.. and to think all these people think he is a genius investor LOLas I like to do I can compare this to aviation u tubes.. there is this pilot in CA.. that was doing  U tubes flying from Auburn CA ( above Sacramento) to Oakland a lot.. he likes to video his instrument approach's etc.. problem is he bust just about all the minimums and one time he landed in Oakland with virtually zero zero and was bragging about it.. on an ILS unless your cat 111 approach if you do not have the runway in sight at 200 feet AGL  which no way he did you could see it on his utube  your to do a go around.. yet he just landed with about 20 feet of vis. problem is you have others who are not pilots or beginners just thinking he is the ace of the base.. 

This truly is one of those "reach out to a local real estate attorney" moments. 

You need to find a local insurance company where you want to invest, one who insures mostly in that area, and the rates will be better than you think.

This is probably a good question to take to a local real estate broker.

Hey guys,I've been self-managing for 5 or so years now but recently turned over the PM on a couple properties to a local property management in town.

Pick an asset class: Class A, B, C & D properties, research pros & cons, pick one to focus onPick a real estate market that matches your resources & goalsContact local agents & PMC’s to start sending you listings to analyzeAnalyze a few deals weekly, get comfortable with the market and refine what you're looking for

I was the featured speaker with a local group (actually nationally presented) on building energy efficient homes. 

Study the market, get a local group together, and begin small.

I'm not sure why your lease would state they have 6 months to catch up (unless that is due to local laws), that's asking for trouble.
