Hello!  If you could only spend money on one of these marketing methods (hiring cold callers or sending mailers), which would you pick and why?  Which is more effective, in your experience?

Does anyone know of a company that will provide an umbrella policy for an LLC which is used solely for flips? We obviously have insurance coverage on each property we flip, but I am looking to add an umbrella policy for our overall LLC.

@Ned Carey thank you! We have done the BRRRR method several times already (I should have clarified that), but I feel like no matter what, we always go over budget on our rehab. And we are trying to improve our off-market deal flow, as well, as we want to increase our off-market volume. Those are my target areas to improve right now!

@Joey Banasihan thanks! We actually have 7 rentals in our portfolio already, 6 of which we did the BRRRR method with. So we have some experience, but I always feel like we could be doing things better, and I'm all about continuing education. We aren't in a spot to house hack, but I do wish we had started out that way years ago. Right now, I'm trying to sharpen our skills on staying within rehab budget and finding the deals.

@Jaycee Greene we will do heavy, medium, or light!  We just don't do down-to-the-studs. ☺️

Good evening! My husband and I have been flipping and BRRRR-ing for the last few years. It's been going well, but we are interested in expanding our opportunities by exploring other avenues of real estate. What are everyone's favorite ways of making money through real estate? I feel as though there may be options out there that we are not aware of.

Hi! My husband and I have been flipping houses for several years. We have a pretty good handle on what we are doing, but I am always interested in learning more and doing better. Can anyone recommend books on flipping houses?
