(the COC so to speak).I think adding a bit more complexity to this model would yield some clarity.

There is a research showing that complexity of terms increases the market power of the firms/banks.

We've ruled out a lot of homes simply by mapping with satellite feature and seeing what's around (quarry starting next street over, huge power lines, beautiful view of industrial complex, etc.)

Hickory Ridge Mall, various apartment complexes).

I was at a trade show as a vendor when a local investor that knew of me walked up promoting a contract he recently received on a light industrial complex.

I was reluctant at first but has proved to be a great decision as 1.5 yrs later we bought a 42 unit apartment complex : https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8160/67620-purchasing-our-first-apartment-complex

I am trying to find local-ish apartment complex syndicator's and am having a tough time finding relevant info off of Google, my search terms may be poor.

Ultimately, we are still making the decision on what to do when an issue arises; adding in a Management company adds a layer of complexity.

Just feel like with introducing complexity like that, you'll want to cover all your bases.

This was an 8 or 12 unit complex and tenants all sued landlord for losing their possessions due to the fire.  3) several cases where the landlord or seller was sued for property code violations under the deceptive trade practices act and the carrier denied coverage as the allegation was of an "intentional act".4) Insurance won't cover breach of contract claims typically, say you get into a dispute with a contractor the insurance isn't going to cover it but are you going to see it through to trial when your personal assets are at risk in the event you're wrong. 5)Not real estate related but I had another case where I represented one of two partners who were sued for a business deal gone bad.
