Hey I have a property that I'm going to renting out. Insurance has been crazy in Tampa and im curious to know if anyone that does buy and holds has any good insurance companies they can recommend that aren't charging...

If there is a lien holder they are usually more picky on distributing the money and will often make the check payable to you and the insurance company (jointly) who will then piecemeal the money back to you as repairs are completed.  

Hello Evan, great choice, you can get started, the first thing you should do is look up how to set up an LLC, you may not be able to own it until you are 18, but I would think that your mom or dad could be the place holder until then.  2.

I fully believe that in the end the new capital will save the deal for ODC, they’ll be able to return a small single digit EM to the pref equity holders after 10 years and the original LPs will still lose a portion of our investment.

I am not offering advice here, check with your mortgage holder to be sure.You may or may not want to see an attorney about the above.  

More specifics - the main issue is failure to include the lien holder in the foreclosure suit (the State of Maryland was named, but not the MD Dept of Health). 

The neighborhood I'm looking in is a pretty rough, which is why homes are so cheap, but the opportunity is there to provide clean, safe, and affordable housing for a Section 8 voucher holder.

Although we will be the 1st lien holder on the house, they do not record the lien. 

It was a win/win because with my guests going to dinner with a $50 gift certificate they felt like they were getting their meal paid for but the owner of the restaurant once told me that my average $50 gift certificate holder would spend a minimum of $75 while they were there on extras like appetizers and alcohol purchases that were typically big mark up items for him.
