With your construction background and the extra time your day job gives you, you're in a great position to dive into real estate investing.

Take a photo, then manually enter all the data about your transaction right then.

Having said that, I modeled out 7 investment options and used historical data to predict the future returns.

However many times they won't tell you that, they'll just deny coverage and act like they fought so hard to get it approved but the coverage is just not there (when it certainly is).A good public adjuster will more than pay for their fee with the extra $$ they'll get you.

The HML as you know never leave their office.. they collect data just like a bank does order the appraisal and all that jazz we dont do any of it.. we will run criminal though we dont want to be funding any bad actors or dead beats.

So you get extra exposure to your site, and you get to set all your own policies.

And I highly recommend paying an extra $200 or so for it.

I believe I make MORE money by charging less in large part because of the reduced vacancy.If you can keep tenants on average a couple extra years and basically eliminate a 2 month turnover you have gained 2 months rent.

Instead I would just need to do the title search first, then once I pay the down payment file a memorandum for the amount I paid them, and then record the purchase and sale contract/land contract with the county so it's on record and clouds the title for extra protection.

tapped equity is just extra expensive money.
