I see former players from the 2000's coming back to the industry under different business names, and some of their prior work was less than stellar.

A fair amount of the work is handled by a consultant as is it more important for me to work on the fund raise structures and that end of the business.

I'm always on the lookout for business and investment opportunities.

Commercial is for business purposes.In most zoning, you have residential, multi-family or apartments, and commercial, but apartment use is not the same as commercial. 

Hi Austin,Insurance business is complex, and I wouldn't rely in an agent that is asking you to leave things "as is".In my case, what worked is to build relationship with at least 3 to 4 agents, so I can easily email my portfolio and they quote me based on that.

Which in turn will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the market.

I was out of town at a conference when an old business partner "went hard" with $10K on a property.

But, I think my financial situation may be good enough to do a 5% conventional loan, please poke holes in my plan if there are any. 

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Personally, we are diving deep into buying and operating businesses that potential to conservatively achieve 20%+ cash on cash returns.
