Lately i've been reading: The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner, which is actually how I found out about BIgger Pockets.

Memphis can actually be a great choice for real estate investing, especially for someone with your situation.First off, property prices in Memphis are much more affordable compared to markets like CA, so with $50k, you can actually make a bigger impact.

Currently, a hurdle that I am looking to get over is securing lending that will also have renovation costs built into the actual loan amount.

I have to imagine it's a bit more negotiating than just purchasing something with cash, since it's essentially bartering @Rene Hosman YEARS and that's if they actually got approved because it had to be so completely vetted to avoid lawsuits after approval. 5-10 years but the stance of that municipality was anti-change, anti-development, NIMBY on steroids, etc.

What I've seen is that when asked to provide an assurance that a loan wouldn't be called because of a due on sale clause being triggered, the lender customer service typically just outright says it's not allowed, or default to a "no", because they see it as a black and white question, and miss why the due on sale clause is actually written into the mortgage document to begin with.If one is transferring property title from personal name, a Grant/Warranty Deed would be drafted/recorded to transfer title.

Does Aircover actually cover broken/damaged household items? 

Talk to house hackers because that would be a great way to start, but you are also advanced with money so you may find smarter options that act more like index funds (syndications).Yes I was actually looking at syndications that was going to be my next research topic that seems extremely interesting and powerful syndication seems like an awesome way to diversify without getting my hands dirty necessarily.

In my area, they actually require a little more than the local municipality and lately have been especially strict on cracked paint because they were recently sued and lost.

You’d be shocked by how little actual screening many PMC’s do!

I am the owner actually.
