She'd be a great person to talk with agent to agent.

@Megan Bransonhave you been to this neighborhood in person? 

Is person performing test at vendor is qualified and competent?

And then eventually we'd like to get some short term rentals in a few ideal places around the country that we can have occasionally for personal use.Oh, and the student loan debt.

most builders pay a flat fee for MLS access and then hire in house. that's what I would do. 50k for a person to sit at a desk. rent a trailer and stick them there for 12 months or 24 months. take the difference 

@Megha Sharmawill you go to your chosen market in person? 

But, I am just speculating.I haven't seen this Riviera Apartments deal, but am happy to underwrite it if you DM me details.My take:  Unless I knew them personally, and knew they were superheros, I'd be cautious.

(And then I work with 20-something house-hacking clients in Denver and Colorado Springs and marvel at the opportunity they have to start so young.)I personally don't like flipping.

In general I would expect to pay more for an insurance on a business policy rather than a personal policy and am not surprised by the increase. 

Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience.
