So here I am, having recently been laid off from a primary job (I have 2 full time tech jobs) and am not only SUPER glad I don't have that 3K a month mortgage to deal with (that said I am making the same from my one job now that I was when I lived there, it was only after I sold it that I picked up the second job but you'd be amazed how you get used to having a 30K a month gross W2 income, even with one job loss it still feels like you have none despite having a second...) and am living in a house that costs me less than 1K a month mortgage wise AND...that house that I sold has barely moved in value at all since I sold it.

My personal house has tremulously grown in value just in 4 years since I bought, which is how I'm able to take a line of equity in my primary residence to use it for investment purposes.

It also has free data and free sales comps.

This is a smallish town (pop 10k) but it is home too many large employers as well as Googles second largest data center in the world!

  :) Below is a screenshot of monthly revenue in a particular market I invest in from Airdna's data. 

Data I get through Spokeo and Intellius is horrible.

Also what would be a best financial structure for partnership with developers when the value I bring is database, architecture and working with big data to increase profitability?

I am guessing where the money is stored needs to be easily liquidated in short order and not at risk of dropping in value.

I have driven around and checked the crime data.

It seems to me that I'm not gaining or losing value, aka insurance is giving me only what I've lost in value because of the mistake, no more.
