If you can still procure guidance lines or bank money at low interest rates by stuffing your cash in a project you may be better off using more of your own money.  

If you are seeking coverage for the possibility of freezing and bursting pipes in the future, yes you can procure insurance to cover you beginning at the time you take ownership of the property (closing).

I think it may be easier to procure financing in VA as an LLC (or other entity for that matter). 

Hi, I'm a procurement professional with strong business acumen and over 15 years’ experience driving capital and tenant improvement projects seeking to transition into Property Management.

Procuring of prospects calculated to result in the purchase, sale or exchange of real estate; [PL 1987, c. 395, Pt.

the 2nd agent knows that the 1st agent has a pretty solid case for "procuring cause" and doesn't want to do work and end up not getting the commission. 

We have procured a non recourse loan for the purchase of the building and will have all of the partners form an LLC contribute to the down payment to fund the purchase. 

Often newer platforms take a while to work though their processes/bugs/features, but I don't know anything specific about this company other than they have millions to spend on advertising and procured reviews right now.There's a lot of great alternatives out there as well. 

However if you bought a property that was brought to you from a Realtor, he could make a claim that they were the Procuring Party and make a case for a commision.

The only question is with what or how will people procure that roof over there head.
