True they have had a monopoly for over 50 years, however, in the past 10 years there has been a small private flood insurance markets and it will continue to grow you can do a google search for "private flood insurance", "Lloyds of London flood insurance" or just reach out to me and I will shop all options for you. 

Congrats keep grinding and keep growing!

Hello,I have been looking for my first multi unit (duplex) in the Willamette Valley wine country area of Oregon ( it will become Sonoma in 20 years ;-) ) and my retired father (healthy and active  66 years old) has been mildly interested in selling his home (no mortgage) for a change of scenery and possibly to move closer to our growing family.

Just don't buy in a market that's not growing or extremely overpriced rent-property value wise.In terms of other vehicles, crypto is dead and I won't enter at all till a bubble begins again as it could easily die for years and never come back.

We plan to buy/fix/flip single-family homes and build an inventory to keep it growing, but that strategy may change once we know more about the market and what we can realistically do.

If you're looking for rehab targets, the character of places like Prosper and Anna is changing rapidly and there might be opportunity.I would take anything I say about investing with a grain of salt, but I'm happy to answer any questions about the area or what I see.

They just have a shell metal building so it's not all that expensive for them to move and rebuild.Also, find a metro area that has very high population and job growth then find out which directions they are growing (usually easy to see by where there's a lot of construction).

I have a GC working for me now who I haven’t had a problem with thus far, but regardless I do need to grow my network all-around. 

As my city grows, the tolerated commute time continues to grow.Housing demand is completely dependent on jobs.

+ good locations+ growing markets+ cash flow+ add value+ prudent debt= decent performance in all market conditionsI have purchased more real estate in 2018 than I ever have.
