While insurance might cover the reconstruction of your property, the community's recovery could take years or, in some cases, never occur.

Insurance would cover it, I would pay the deductible, and no assets would be lost.If you are in an area like San Diego where people are more likely to sue, a judge is more likely to find you guilty, and the payout is expected to be higher, you may consider an umbrella insurance policy.

Hi @Zach Harden,I'm an investor/agent in CT and part of #1 Listing Team in CT, and we cover all CT.Let me know if you have time to connect and see how we can help you with your real estate needs.

The buyer’s agent commission is typically not a direct tax-deductible expense, whether you pay it yourself or the seller covers it.

I personally feel like 30 days is more courteous but as long as they abide by state/local regulations they should be covered

But, ultimately, it could work if you don't mind a low ROI.It could make sense if you look at a lifestyle rather than an investment purchase and you're just happy to cover your costs.

You can leverage your HELOC and cash to cover the down payment, the initial rehab draws, and holding costs. 

Ensure the STR’s projected income comfortably covers new debt, even with conservative occupancy rates, and maintain reserves for market changes or vacancies.

The one percent and 2 percent rule ive never looked at ... cap rate is .. meh .. its there - what im most concerned with is the price of the home relative to comparables and cash on cash to start.   9)  I look  the other way if it is a multi unit that is not separately metered - thats always one of my criteria here in pgh as there are a lot of older homes and a good portion you wind up worrying about who will cover utilities.
