Maintaining a financial track record for your project is facilitated by effective budgeting.3.

I understand I can increase liability in each individual landlord policy, but one single umbrella policy is much more cost effective when I have multiple properties.

Same as you'd screen anyone else with very close attention paid to which parents you select to guarantee the lease.Are there any specific clauses I should include in a room-by-room lease for a shared living space?

Here is some key information:Property recently hit the market and has 2 cash offers alreadyThe seller provided a pre-inspection report, which I shared with 2 different lenders, both think it may fail conventional financing due to potential structural and electrical issues (realtor thinks it could pass conventional)Seller has 100% equity but is behind on other payments (not sure of the urgency money is needed)This is my first attempt at an “investment” property so I’m new to thisI see 3 optionsMove forward with an offer using conventional loan pre-qualification-Not as attractive of an offer to the seller-Possibility that appraiser calls out structural/electrical issues that need to be fixed before closing, effectively causing financing to fail- Best terms and fewest loan fees for meUse a rehab style loan such as ChoiceRenovation-Even less attractive than a conventional offer to seller, but less risk of failed financing if appraiser calls out issues-Slightly worse fees and interest rates compared to conventional-Lenders tell me possibly up to 60-90 days closing in some cases, with red-tape for contractor requirements and draw schedules (sounds like the most hoops to jump through during rehab)Use a hard money lender-Most attractive loan option I can give to seller so I can compete-Much higher fees and interest rate for me-need to refinance into a conventional at the end of rehab (not familiar with seasoning periods but I think this is a factor as well)Which option would you do?

Most long-term lenders will use an AMC to select the appraiser.

Particularly for your first few properties, I'd highly recommend that you manage the property yourself (if possible), but that's usually only possible (or most effective) if you live near the property or visit it frequently.

I also just got this email about a renewal (only a partial quote) :Effective January 2, 2025, annual subscriptions will be priced at $179, and $129 for add-on units.

When offering incentive such as bonuses you must question the effects of this type of motivation.

With those, the HOA fee's usually have a big negative effect on cash flow. 

As someone who’s just getting started, I’m focusing on connecting with the right people and learning how to present opportunities effectively.
