Thanks for sharing that and congratulations... even for knowing your numbers as intimately as you do (not every investor does).

To make things worse were all the fema trailers in front yards, piles of trash and torn up front yards, which might make selling a home in a shortish time frame difficult.

Congratulations on your first post.

Congratulation on your success.

Congratulations Michael on your success!!! 

First off: congratulations on saving up 16k - most people barely have $16 to their name. 

I honestly told their counsel I would pile their claim amount in my front yard in bills and set it on fire before I would give them a penny.

One was at 17K and I was at 15K that was the closest.On top of that of the claims I filed even none of them meet deductible so I got zero from it, all the carriers mailed me letters demanding to see documentation of the repairs including licensed contractor official invoices, before and after pictures etc...so you won't "pile on" the claim on the next hurricane.There is also one carrier I think it's called People's Trust which is becoming popular now in FL and there is a lot of talk about their "First Response", since if you go with them you have to call their first response team or you forfeit your claims. 

Congratulations @Mark Hove. 

@Jarrett Harris Congratulations on closing your 2nd deal.
