Yea, the guide is a living document that I've updated several times throughout the years.

I'm still flipping but I do live ins so only 1 every couple years, mostly San Jose.

I've personally done just about every rehab scenario, properties I've lived in, properties bought as investments and even properties bought at auction.You've gotten good advice from folks on this list.

Away from the coast, no hurricanes, fires, floods - we don't even have snowstorms anymore.People can deny climate change all they want or blame it on sun cycles, and frankly, it does not even matter, the reality is that insurance cost will force the issue.You can try to rebuild and you can put houses on stilts in flood areas, or fortify them against high winds and fires, but that makes it expensive.

., with the rapid rise of STRs, you will find that many insurers offer STR policies.We use Proper but it is very expensive but very comprehensive.

Hey Sarah, I'm a big advocate for self-managing even from out of state.I manage my 12-doors in Detroit and live in California.

If you have other money besides the 20K then this is a different story Already living in a house I bought before Covid.

Living?

Quote from @Zeona McIntyre: Hey @Blake Winiecki I imagine you live in Florida but I would reconsider investing the area for one main reason - climate change.

This has been interpreted to mean "any increase in tenant expense to live there".
