I’m diving into real estate investing with a focus on rental properties, and I’m looking to connect with like-minded investors, lenders, and partners.A little about me:•I’m currently working on securing my first rental property and seeking a strategic partnership with an investor willing to fund the deal while I handle the operations.

So it comes down to how much you currently value your time.

I am looking at different loan options but to break even (not having to put any money of my own in the house after the initial down payment) the current down payment required is that much. 

Can I use my current homeowner policy and just increase the limits?

I'm sure there will be others with their own (and possibly conflicting) opinions, but for question #1, I always advise my clients to focus on properties in areas that 1) they currently (or previous) live in/near, 2) they travel to frequently, or 3) they have family/friends in the area.For question #2, the answer is going to depend on what you do for #1.

Hi Kyle - we have two development projects currently in DC.

If fully updated, market rents could be 5K a month plus utilities etc.The office space is currently being used as a medical office and it's a block from the hospital so there is always a good pool of rental candidates. 

Hey Drew, get yourself an engineer to provide you with a report on the current conditions and the repairs needed.
