I expect you will keep me out of the trap houses and into someplace with decent renters, and a chance for appreciation. 

If you're looking for something better than the market gives, you'll keep wasting time looking for a unicorn. 

These are not flips these are properties we are going to keep in our rental for folio.

You’ll receive notifications when there is conversation in the forums you follow or if a user mentions those keywords—so keep them updated often!

Not to mention the new mandate by Citizens insurance for those covered by citizens insurance to keep flood insurance even if their property is are NOT in a flood zone.

I am sure this is an attempt to keep investors from using their long term financing for flips, they don't actually want the extra interest, this is punitive to discourage nonconforming use of the product.

Not that I'm aware of with any of my landlord clients - if there's a government shutdown that could be a possibility, but the payments will always be prorated for any missed payments.City wouldn't intentionally delay payment once you're setup and "in the system"... they want to keep any voucher tenants housed and out of shelters. 

You keep the stores as retail space or did you convert to apartments?

I did know someone who rented a property and then airbnb'd it out (with the owner's permission) and split the profits (keeping most).

Keep going, and I'm sure you'll find the right opportunities to learn and grow.
