But I take public transportation to my current job but within the next two months will require me to have use of a vehicle.

Ferraris and bentleys going through downtown are pretty common but vehicles of all price ranges go through. 

And because of the allure of owning property with depressed market prices, as well as low returns being offered by banks and other common investment vehicles, investors lined up to buy into these hedge funds.This gave hedge fund companies deep pockets.

In contrast, syndication via LPs flow like MF apartments are very tax efficient, tax advantages of property tax and mortgage interest deductions, accelerated depreciation making these very nice vehicles for putting cash in your pocket w/o a high tax bill during the hold period.  

The goal is to connect the life (expense) of the vehicle with the value you receive from it.  

In the last couple months I have noticed an extra vehicle in the driveway and extra belongings (a motorcycle).

Vehicles must be owned and insured by tenant.

I have read from some folks who swear by using insurance as the vehicle to protect assets and consider it a better option.

I spent much of 2015 reflecting on what was the highest and best use of my potential and what vehicle/arena I could use to challenge myself to become the version of myself.

It is a powerful vehicle to move into larger assets.
