I added value to the deal by carefully evaluating the property's potential for increased rental income and implementing strategic improvements.

The underwriting is based primarily off of the property, not you as the borrower so the main factors evaluated are property value, DSCR ratio (cash flow), LTV, and FICO.Also, I am from Boston and know the area well.

Overall, going with an independent insurance agent will mean they will shop for the best price available… whereas if you called a singular insurer… say Progressive or whomever….

Here's my #1 dissatisfier in dealing with agents: Most have NO idea how to evaluate investment properties.I HATE when agents bring me a so-called "deal" without having first determined whether it actually makes sense financially.Then, when I do run the numbers and calculate a cash flow of $50/mo and a cash-on-cash return of 3%, I feel violated, like my time has been totally wasted.And, that's the last "deal" I'll ever consider from that agent!

land in path of progress .. fix and flip JV deals.. etc etc.. at least for me.

I've developed a real estate agent on the island of St Croix (Cynthia Taylor) to help evaluate the properties and guide my offer. 

We leveraged our expertise in property evaluation and market analysis to secure the deal at a favorable price of $93,000, ensuring both parties were satisfied with the terms and conditions.

I would 100% price that out before making a move anywhere there.I think Lake Conroe and Lake Livingston are two places to check out as things progress in the area.

You want to add some action, some progress, some EXCITEMENT!
