Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.I lived in this home for almost 2 years and had always been interested in turning it into a rental.

Especially on an apartment building, are there any ideas of difficulty to insure?

Stepping it up a bit and moving from buy and hold to flips. 

Your holding cost is likely going to be more than a couple grand.

My strategy is to buy and hold these properties, unfortunately I bought this one in January when rates were high.

In Louisiana, this process is typically much more lax and I know several people who have succeeded in having homestead exemptions on several properties at once (no idea whether it's legal). 

The goal is to be able to hold it for atleast 10 years and see what happens.

Anyone done business with RREAF Holdings?

The books and podcasts are great to get a general idea, but talking to boots on the ground can give more detailed info.

You have $100k in appreciation in two years, which dwarfs the increase in property taxes.Whether to hold or sell is based on future estimated IRR of what you own vs estimated IRR of other opportunities.
