I’ve been a real estate investor since 2015, owning and managing multiple multifamily properties and running a short-term rental business in Cape Cod, the Lakes Region of NH, and the Berkshires.

You probably have a lot of friends or relatives with money to invest and an interest in real estate, but they have no clue what to do.

Does anyone know how insurance companies evaluate these properties and whether or not real value can be realized for insurance for renovation? 

Pretty standard and we've definitely done it in the past with a lot of real estate agents we work with that invest. 

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

Essentially gamifying the learning of real estate jargon, terms, laws, etc!

A relative who does long-distance real estate investing told me that I have to sign the final loan document and the transfer of ownership document in person.

@James SillsFrom my experience working with investors, transitioning from residential to commercial real estate (CRE) is an exciting and achievable goal with the right foundation.

Hey guys, I understand that a lot of time is spent talking about how to leverage your current real estate holdings to obtain new ones.  

Wholesaling real estate is a great way to start as you must become familiar with deal underwriting and deal sourcing.
