Post: Out of State Wholesaling LLC Registration??

If you're wholesaling out of state, do I need to register my LLC in each state? I live in Maryland and I've heard some people say yes and some no. I'm assuming I would need to pay taxes for each state, but I do I need to register in each state?

I’m a buy and hold investor looking for my first flip. I’m looking to network with experienced flippers in the DMV. Would love to link up for coffee or drinks. 

Post: Is Foreclosure.com membership worth it?

Has anyone invested in the monthly membership for foreclosure.com and been successful in acquiring properties? Almost all of the listing on BP are foreclosure.com listings. I think it's pretty useless that they are all posted and you can't see them even with the BP PRO membership.

Looking to hear people's experiences whether it's worth it or not.

Mike- Sorry you're going through this. I would second what Tim Hall stated. Find a framer rather than a GC for cost savings and get several estimates. Worst case you may need to cut your losses and sell it off market to another investor.

Could you partner with someone that can bring capital to fix it and then share ownership? Or think about creative solution for someone to take it off your hands. 

Hang in there!

I’m down to 15 days. I am hesitant to give a due diligence period that’s longer than a few days in case I need to find a new buyer.

I have a template and haven’t had it signed yet. I know I can adjust but was just wondering what it normally is

What’s the normal time for a due diligence period for the assignee you’re assigning the contract to?  The buyer has already walked the property.

Post: Partnership Structure with 3 people

I have a potential opportunity to partner with 2 people. Neither has any experience in RE, but have capital to bring to the table.  I have 6 units and growing. I'm good at finding deals, managing rehabs and managing the PM or the property myself. I feel as if I should bring less money or no money  at all to the deal at all if we partnered on deal based upon me sourcing the deal and doing a lot of the work to get it off the ground and maintaining.

Am I over valuing what I bring to the deal? How does anyone else structure partnerships like this? 

Post: Has your insurance provider ever canceled your policy?

Quote from @Pat L.:

We had a severe ice storm many years ago & a large bay window in the master bedroom was damaged beyond repair. The replacement was $2500 which they paid minus our $500 deductible so then they cancelled us. The premiums were $890/month on a $400k home so I asked why cancel us after we were with you 15 years & the fact we would stay current. They wouldn't budge so we cancelled the existing policies on ALL the other properties we had with them. That did not appear to make any business sense at all. 

In the past we have been inundated with brokers wanting to quote & take our insurance business BUT in most cases once the old policy is cancelled the new insurer finds a way to nitpick via a driveby & insist on work done otherwise we would be cancelled. One wanted the factory white Aluminum trim of an outbuilding painted, then they wanted the air vents for a crawl space competely sealed to prevent rodent intrusion. BUT I reminded them we had rodent screening & sealing would cause mold & moisture issues. They denied coverage. 

On some of our older properties with one carrier we have opted to exclude the roof in the policy to avoid cancellation due to what they perceive was a roof issue.

Meanwhile we have found one company here that seems to let just about anything fly, They have insured many properties for a fellow investor & we are very surprised by what they let pass. 

Hi pat, who is the company? I need new insurance asap.
