Thanks for the encouragement @Marco Santarelli - it's reassuring to hear my research agrees with an experienced investor's research.

Oh and thanks for your encouragement!

This is encouraging.

Dominion Power rejected to compensate the repair and replacement costs, and encouraged us to file a claim to our home insurance company.

I'm not sure if the unit range your looking at but I'd encourage you to utilize technology and see who's CMBS loans are coming due in the next 6-12 months and start dialogue now for disposition, best case off-market.

But the rough number is about right.If you can manage 15% cash on cash returns, or more, this will happen more quickly.I'd encourage you to 1) buy properties in the same area, and 2) move there, and 3) manage them yourself.

Until states decide to specifically regulate (like California which has its pros and cons) this will continue to be a grey area that we encourage you to discuss with your legal counsel in your state."

If you live in a tenant-friendly state like California, I highly encourage you to look elsewhere.

Any networking is greatly encouraged.

I say this to encourage you to learn/train how to target more sellers, more owners, and create win-win solutions to give sellers more money for their homes while also making the home really valuable to your future buyers too.We really just scratched the surface but I hope this all makes sense?
