Has anyone encountered something like this before?

Would like the forum to chime in on a situation i haven’t encountered.

Post after your first encounter of adversity, let me know how it went.

One of the obstacles that I have encountered recently is finding an insurance broker. 

There are many reasons, but a few of the most common “misbeliefs“ I encounter on this topic are:1) Don’t know how to or not sure how syndications work (they think they cannot qualify when they can) 2) People believe they can’t afford to do so3) Not sure how to do so without incurring unnecessary risk 4) People believe they have to “manage” it themselves 5) People believe they need higher liquidity or net worth to do so In my experience (I’m currently invested 4 apartment complexes 534 doors as an LP), my wife is invested in 1 complex 282 doors as an LP, I'm a GP in 124 doors, and working on another 200+ unit deal as a GP in San Antonio Tx... my thoughts on these common misbeliefs are below:1) Anyone that is at least a “sophisticated investor” as defined by SEC can invest into a syndication, so long as you have a pre-existing relationship with the deal sponsor.

Recommendation:  You may need to switch to a non-bank commercial lender (non-bank lenders are growing in popularity for the reason you encountered and more).  

The Texas Medical Center employs over 106,000 people, hosts 10 million patient encounters annually.6. 25% of people in Pearland rent while only 21% of people in Friendswood are renters.

I thought that being a Realtor would educate us on the different mortgages, get us in the door at financial institutions for REO's, etc.What have you encountered?

Speaking for single family homes, you may encounter the problem that the agent will not agree as they very well may be hurting for closing commissions in these gard times and can not wait for their commission.

Wish you the best and would love to share any experiences we encounter.
