Think video editors, photographers, content creators, even gamers.

Many of the articles paint Blackrock and other similar firms as evil for buying homes and robbing individuals of the opportunity for wealth creation, but if private equity funds are buying and renting homes, they are engaging in similar behavior to many individual landlords, just at larger scale. 

My agent has been engaging the seller agent trying to get the release back.

(engaging with people with the same interest and all that) Thank you in advance for people who will comment here! 

What are some ways people have engaged with investors to garner advice and lessons?

Just to name a few items (The list is much, much longer lol).Also, after engaging on a few properties over the past month or so, obtaining information from selling teams has been like pulling teeth...

We are both handy (and hire out projects we aren't qualified to do) but are ready to spend a little more and have this piece completely handled.We shopped around property management companies, but all of them seem to have more services than we want - we really enjoy the part of the business centered around locating tenants and fixing up properties (initially and after a vacancy), since part of the reason we do this is to engage with the community and provide more affordable stable housing options to those who don't always get the best treatment from landlords.

Plan on engaging attorneys after we close. 

Maybe run a deep background check on them to see if anyone in the family has a record before you engage with them. 

The latter change is meant to reduce roofers’ opportunities to identify damage they can pin on past weather events, like hailstorms or hurricanes.Still, those changes might not reduce claims and lawsuits for several years, insurers say, if attorneys are allowed to pursue claims for old losses under the old rules.The Legislature provided the Department of Financial Services $1.8 million specifically to investigate property and casualty homeowner insurance fraud.Department spokesman John O’Brien said the money will fund two squads of detectives at the Division of Investigative and Forensic Services.Meanwhile, several insurers, including Citizens, Security First and Tower Hill, are pursuing claims under Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act laws, developed to fight organized crime, against roofing companies they contend are engaging in fraud.The problem of roof-based coverage denials and ever-rising claims costs might not be solved until the concept of homeowner insurance in Florida is revolutionized, said Paresh Patel, CEO of HCI Group, which includes Homeowners Choice and Typ Tap insurance companies.Patel envisions a day when homeowners most likely to file claims for repairs, like roof replacements, are allowed to buy more expensive policies that are designed more as home maintenance coverage.
