GA Newbie Under Contract who has PM and Ins Questions
Hi there!!
Im a newbie and just went under contract for my duplex. So, now I'm confused at the timeline to obtain insurance and getting property management for my first property that I will househack in.
Honestly, I was told o should get a PM since I'm green with rehab and to alleviate headaches.
Question: Should i get a PM? If so, when? Immediately after purchasing or keep my funds an wait it out a little and decide after 3-6months of living in the property?
Question: When should I obtain insurance? Before or after closing? Should I get homeowners insurance or a landlord policy with renters insurance for myself? On my homeowners policy, which coverage and amount should I make sure I have?
