@Harry Gamble The cost of insurance will vary greatly based on the individual property types, specifics, and locations.

I've only been to Delaware once and it was just to visit my sister when she lived up there and just from my memory it seemed not the type of area I would be interested in.  

I am also a higher end type, so you may not need to go as far as what I typically do.What I can tell you is that contractors generally have to be dealt with very aggressively as business partners.

Just make sure the property management company has experience in that type of project.  

This is my first time getting involved in this type of investing so I appreciate any feedback.Regards,

You might look into form some type of corporation or a LLC depending on your financial wealth.  

Anything larger or a reasonably sized apartment complex is not that common.That said, we do have lots of pretty large MFR communities in South Bend and Mishawaka so there is a tenant pool for that type of housing.

what type of properties do you have (i.e.

I don't know if you're aware but this building is under rent control and the 2nd unit's $1,900 rent cannot be raised much and there are tight restrictions on removing the tenant.The type of buyers this property is perfect for are two separate parties (think friends or siblings) buying it as a TIC with each party occupying one unit.
