Post: New investor from Australia

Hi all, just wanted to start out with a quick thank you to all who participate in the forums, it's been an invaluable resource to me as I start my journey into property investing. I hope I can give back in the years to come. 

I'm just days away from closing on my first deal, a package of four properties in the Detroit area. I know this probably has alarm bells ringing at this point, the new guy that thinks he can make it buying up cheap properties in Detroit, but as David Green says in his book, a good property manager can have success with this. I've found someone that I trust to handle this, so have concluded that nothing can go wrong and it will all be smooth sailing from here. So yeah... I'll probably be rich in like 3 weeks... right? 

Wish me luck! And thanks again. 

Ben.

Post: Insurer that will report to credit agency

Hi all, I'm about to close on my first properties in the US, in the Detroit area. It's come time for me to sort out my insurance and I thought I could set it up on monthly payments and this might be a good way to help me start building a credit rating, but it seems that in general, insurance companies won't report to credit agencies unless it's negative. 

Can anyone recommend me a company that will report my GOOD behaviour? I'm happy to pay a premium for this (no pun intended!)

Thanks in advance, 

Ben.
