Eat sleep breathe Real Estate.

Finding this community has been fantastic simply for the breath and depth of knowledge in these forums.I went to a local REIA Meetup this evening and was presented with an opportunity to have a coach/mentor.

Not sure if a big bank or lender underwriting hundreds of loans would dig deep into who they are paying off. 

Last week there were two probate properties that sold off market for a deep discount that we missed by a matter of a week or so! 

@Nathan G. thanks. last night we deep cleaned the apt and management stated they would be coming to day for a initial inspection and first spray, if they find anything bad they'll be back. 

The needs of real estate investors are very different from the needs of "normal" insurance clients who just live in a house they own, and drive a few cars.PLEASE, for your sake and the local market as a whole, only work with insurance professionals who can demonstrate a deep and thorough understanding of your needs as a real estate investor. 

How deep down the rabbit hole are we on this one?

As @Caleb Heimsoth pointed out, next day service during the hot Summer months is excellent timing in the deep South.

They are more often behind the times, showing homes as "available" when in fact they sold a month or two ago.Don't be afraid to make a low-ball offer, but don't hold your breath.

Google that term and you can read about how it can help you.I own a couple properties in flood zones, no a show stopper for me but proceed with caution. obviously house should be discounted when sold if in the flood zone but if you can get it at a deep discount with potential of removing it that could be a home run!!
