-MarcHi, Marc - while it's important to reach out to the insurance placement companies to get your property on their radar, don't overlook all of the rest of the possible places to list your property as well.

I personally don't know of their group but figured id link that article since i remember reading it and the name clicked. 

The less of any of those a person want's to give, the more of the others is required to equalize the scales.

Anyone googling this will see it basically on the first page..

If there is anyone who can help point me in the right direction as far as the best place to start, educate myself, and how to get involved in real estate circles please let me know and reach out to connect at any time! 

Most of the markets I see following less than 1% rule like 0.5% rule like If I purchase for 100k getting rent around 500$ a month which gives no cash flow after mortgage, insurance, maintenance, property manager.

Also thanks for following the journey.Yeah the investing out of state thing seems to be a simmering trend right now.

I do some investing in the suburbs.

Could this realistically help filter leads and make our follow-ups more effective?

Here is my dilemma.To my knowledge if a claim is approved and a check is cut, it's my decision if I want to get the repairs done, OR cash the check (please advise if that is not the norm).
