Considering recent market insights, reallocating your $300K brokerage account into a multifamily property while keeping your townhouse rented could be advantageous.Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has accumulated a record amount of cash, suggesting a cautious stance due to potential market overvaluation.

If a policy excludes wind coverage (more common in places like Florida where insurance is severely strained by weather and other market conditions) then all wind related events are excluded.In those cases, it's sometimes possible to purchase a wind policy (usually covers wind & hail) which would provide tornado protection.

Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).

However, past performance of appreciation is not necessarily indicative of future gains due to variables within each market.
