Since I've been told the insurance market is really tough right now in California with most of the big companies (Nationwide, Allstate, State Farm) not writing new policies to new customers, I'm trying to do a change of broker to a different Safeco agent.

We have renovated the house we live in, and we put way more into it than we should have, because we didn't think we would house-hack it, and we made it customized to us.

I recommend you print, study, and highlight the HUD guide: https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/PA/documents/HUDAsstAnimalN...You should also check with a local HUD office to see if they have any additional guidance they can provide you.Keep in mind, not everyone is subject to Fair Housing requirements and you may be exempt from allowing the ESA!

But here are the highlights to consider:-If you can do a 15% down payment on sum of purchase price and rehab dollars this can work. - Single family homes to rehab and hold or to fix & flip- Loan is in your name not your LLC- Rates between 5% and 6% depending on credit score- 30 year term loan, fixed rate, no pre payment penalty if sold or paid off anytime- Example buy at 100,000 and add 50,000 for rehab = 150,000 means 15% down payment or 22,500- So the buy is financed at 85% and so is the rehab if you look at it that way- House will be appraised off a contractors write up of the work to be done and must appraise out ARV to at least the 150,000 to make sense at all; if not loan is not approved so a buyer cannot get into trouble in that sense with lender oversight- all work must be done by licensed trades people, not the own themselvesIf this sounds plausible I'm happy to answer questions.
