I am trying to get home owners insurance before my close date Feb 25, and it's been a nightmare.

Our downtown isn't big, but each neighborhood has a different feel, and we have affordable suburbs if you want to be close but not IN the popular areas.

A deal that’s “close” but not quite right can still cost you big.

Roth IRA contributions can be withdrawn tax-free, but earnings may be subject to income tax and penalties unless the account has been held for five years and you're 59½ or older.Instead, consider rolling over your IRA into a solo 401(k) if you're self-employed, allowing you to borrow up to $50,000 or 50% of the account balance, whichever is lower.

Hi Jason, It sounds like you are looking to do a cash out refinance on your investment property and quitclaim deed to an LLC at closing? 

Recent sale of the assessed property is de facto value.Expert is needed for anything else.They can raise the value if you appeal.Comparable sales only count if they were closed before the lien date which is one year prior to the tax bill date.

Also, don't complain about your offer not being accepted - just submit a better one or walk away - the seller doesn't care about anything other than how long its been on the market and how close to ask you are.

I usually only have about 2k for closing costs out of pocket.

In this market, I would not finance a first time flipper at 75% profit split because the profits and success rate is lower than the last dozen years.  

Just the different brand name lowers the cost dramatically!
