I’m potentially looking to purchase a mid-term or long-term rental property in a different state because I feel I may be able to find better deals elsewhere.

Also, insurance companies rate homeowner's differently from landlord policies due to the fact that you live there. 

Everybody is different, but the climate is tougher now as carriers begin to cull customers to eliminate unprofitable ones.  

Financing is different from buying existing properties.

However, they can sometimes be higher due to the additional risk taken on by the lender.With a hard money loan, you typically make interest-only payments during the loan term.No, you wouldn't owe any more interest beyond what has already accrued if you finish the project in 3 months and pay off the hard money loan earlyIt's great that you're exploring different strategies for your real estate investments!

It is zoned single family but since the previous owner is using it as a rooming house a few things look different that I am worried about the appraiser not passing:Outside doors for each room with locks.The only common area is the kitchen, no dining room, living room, etc.The rooms consist of 5 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, and 2 bathrooms.Each room has a bed and a small drawer which I am thinking of diassembling before the appraiser comes.Would I have a problem with this?

They often have different vendors introduce themselves so you can build your team and they often have a local member do a case study on one of their properties to share the ins, outs, ups, and downs of the investment.

Then, just three weeks before closing, my largest commercial tenant—who brought in as much monthly revenue as all 25 mobile home tenants combined—announced they were moving to a location closer to their main office.
