Hi all,I am looking to shop for some building insurance quotes for a few rental properties I have located in Chicago.

For cabinets, I have a local cabinet shop I can send you.

@Ally AlvarezI had the same questions several years ago when I got started, and luckily - most real estate investors love to talk shop. 

@Ryan TallAs business traveler to SLC frequently to the DT area having access to transportation and walkability to a place like Trolley Square with restaurants, shops, and a store. 

Shop before you buy, so when it's time to hire, you already know. 

A cash out could very well be 50% to 70%, (or they may not do cash outs) depending on the lender so you'll need to ask and shop  around.Each property must be appraised and title insurance obtained on each, so you're not saving much in loan costs except they may close as one transaction, filing fees will be applied to  each property as well.

Shop around.Give it a shot the first year if you can so you can see for yourself if it makes sense.

Eventually all the landlords will leave and these properties will then sit vacant for the local homeless population to set up shop in these neighborhoods. 

Leaving your business card at restaurants, barber shops, and other public places will not work.

A few of the meetups charge, but there are a lot more that are free and just take place in locations like coffee shops + bars.
