Search for the BP podcast episode with Jude Bernard - he is very active in NYC.

I did a search on my own  to help them find it and I can't find any insurance companies offering quotes for the Los Angeles area at the moment.

I've used the search feature on this forum but didn't have much luck.Are there any US investors, hard money lenders, or groups that invest in flips outside of the United States, specifically in Europe (Netherlands, Spain, etc.)?

Just search and try to find ones that understand sourcing investment properties.

My only concern is searching for the rent to value "1% rule". 

I do a lot of searching through the MLS and county records, and come across these fairly often, but am curious as to who/what they are.

Quote from @D'Ann Melnick: Saw this was an old question, but it came up in search - this is all part of the rent stabilization laws passed in 2024 - https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/DHCA/Resources/Files/tena...The pet deposit cannot exceed $300 and the total amount of security deposits collected cannot exceed two month's rent.

Quote from @Maya Cohen: I've been searching for up-to-date estimates of the cost per sq ft for new construction of SFH & MFH in Philadelphia in 2025.
