I am in several note-lending opportunities currently.Advantages = Scalability, economy of scale discounts, lower property management rates, easier to maintain than small multi-family, the more units, the safer and more efficient the project (in our opinion) We usually deal with 100 units + on each project, rarely exceeding 350 units.Disadvantages = deal flow (hard to find properties in the domestic US with solid cap rates) We're shifting focus more heavily to Puerto Rico and the opportunities it currently presents.

Wenatchee is an under-appreciated submarket in Eastern WA in my opinion.

Actually, second position is never a good idea, but that's my opinion.

In  the even of a serious loss or fire ACV would end up causing you more of a headache and OOP cost, an in my opinion not worth the $300 savings annually.Other Structures: If you have a barn as a separate structure, would $2000 Cover its replacement?

On top of that, in his opinion the renters in the neighborhoods I am looking to invest in aren't always timely with their payments.  

I would just go through with the normal assignment in my opinion... however I know it can be awkward sometimes so do what you have to do my friend!

I'm also part of NAIOP, BOMA and ICSC and in my opinion ULI is the best industry organization for what you're looking to do.

@Jordan A Keller You may want to get a second opinion.

. $10k later they are off my back.Three months later…We closed on this duplex in New London a month ago to house hack a bit and live mortgage free.Took me awhile to find an insurance company because of the age/size and style of the property (it’s 5600 sqft, Victorian built in 1900).We ended up going with State Farm.Usual thing happened; guy comes out and takes a look, gives a few things we should “look at”.Tells me about a tree that needs trimming and a set of stairs on the deck needs repaired; no big deal.Two weeks after closing we get a call from SF that we have been “randomly” selected for a 3rd party inspection.Two week after that we get a call from the agent saying we now have 4 things we must complete to include CUTTING said tree down, replacing windows, fixing the stairs and now I have to paint the CEDAR shingles on the garage because only half of it is painted.As you would expect, I took this news very well and only raised my voice with the guy a little.He told me I had 60 days to fix or start the repair and that a letter would be issued on the 20th of August.Silly me, I though this letter would outline what I needed to complete.NOPE, it was a letter from SF saying that my coverage was declined and was accompanied with a refund check for my premium.Turns out that 60 days is from the date when the policy was issued, not the date of this letter.So we are now 30 days into the 60 days repair window and I’m just now getting the information… Oh and that 60 days also include a couple days to insure the agent has time to come out and re-inspect and send it to underwriting.So my 60 day window was actually only 20.Additionally, every time I call them to ask a question, I get yet another list of things I should fix.Stop giving me your opinion about what you think I should do and tell the required recommendations you need me to do so I don’t lose my insurance policy!

Hi Pedro,In my opinion, 20% return on your investment is excellent.
