Hey Rachel,I can't help you because of the location but you're going to have an extremely tough time finding insurance for that type of risk. 

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

That refi allows me to recapitalize and repeat the process.

There were many lessons learned in the process of my first investment.

For the BRRRR process I plan on using a hard money lender for the rehab process for the SFH's but what I'm not sure of is, should I purchase a duplex and rent one unit out and live in the other or should I just rent for now, not purchase a duplex and just purchase a SFH with cash and start BRRRR'n immediately?

Obtaining the FHA loan is great and you could repeat the process after about a year with the right lender.  

It is tough to compare states with no big cities to a state with multiple large cities.  

In other words, two financing agreements "wrapped" together.But the goal here would be for the 2nd buyer to close all-cash (to skip the financing process), would that still work? 

Now my first property currently has a tenant that is not paying rent, so we started the eviction process.

From day one I treated my involvement in real estate as a real business.This means, I had an advertising budget, a lead generating and follow up process, a back end process and money source and above all an experienced mentor.
