They did this while they continued to work in plumbing and dry cleaning until they retired at age 62.

And expect insurance to keep sky rocketing due to all these storms.

Paying for it on  card for liability protection, getting warranty/insurance work, pulling permits, lien waivers, etc.2)Get deeper, not wider.

Common reasons:1) Change of closing date (instead of closing end of month, if it gets pushed to beginning of next month, prepaid taxes, interest and insurance will increase because you have through to months end)2) Appraisal comes in low and LTV goes up.

This includes the seller maintaining property insurance in their name with the buyer added as additional interest and mortgage payments being made from an account in which the seller appears as bank account holder. 

My wife are in escrow on our first rental property purchase (in the Columbus, Ohio market) and are underway with inspection, finalizing the loan, getting quotes on homeowners insurance, interviewing property managers, etc.

Lenders title insurance policy should be obtained and all documents properly prepared and filed accordingly.

The first mortgage, taxes, insurance, etc on this property have all been paid as agreed during this time.

@Dayana Castellon the only marketing that would make sense is marketing Airbnb & VRBO are NOT covering already.Maybe market directly to insurance companies looking for rentals for their clients needing temporary housing while their fire-damaged home is being repaired.Corporate travel departments might be another option.Hospitals with resident doctor programs.The challenge will be doing this marketing efficiently enough to make it worthwhile.

They want each guest to personally come and provide the information and payment (possibly for their own liability insurance).
