Normally ACV is going to give you a deprecated value. For example you have a 10 year old roof with damage and it cost 5k to replace, ACV may pay $1,000. Replacement would cover the full cost. I would shop around some more.
Call me up. I can get you some options. I am an investor and independent insurance agent in Raleigh.

Thanks. So no need to update anything? Do I just tell the tenant to start sending me the rent?

Buying a house with a current tenant leased until 2018. Do I take over the current lease or have them sign a new one. How does it work?

Can you get a bank loan in the solo 401k to purchase houses? Or do you need enough to buy house out right?

I am looking at the same thing. My lender offered me 20% down on buying two properties in an llc. But the offer is 20 year with 5 year balloon. Seems good but who knows what will happen in 5 years. Should I look at putting in personal name with 30 year fixed? I am trying to get more out of my personal credit so I can buy more and show less personal debt.
