Purchase price: $500,000 Cash invested: $100,000 AirBNB in West Sacramento

Are you purchasing them at full retail value after they're done or are you the one purchase the shell doing the renovation but they're just doing the leg work ? 

First time investor, hoping to obtain my first duplex soon, and this family land purchase is on the horizon as well.

You may hear different from some here, but my advice is NEVER purchase something you don't lay eyes on. 

If the proposed loan is too risky because (1) chance of default is too high and or (2) cost of foreclosing too high or time it takes too long and we would otherwise decline the loan, we might offer to purchase the subject property for a price equal to the loan amount.  

Stay away from Philly as their laws are as tricky as NYC's.I would strongly recommend you purchase something within an hours drive from you so you can learn on the job as a landlord. 

I have a hard money lender established to cover 80% of the purchase and 100% of the rehab, so my capital partners would be covering:20% of the purchase priceRange of $30,000-$50,000 cost of capital25% of the renovation budget (to kickstart the project while waiting for reimbursements)$25,000 contingency padAny tips would be great, and if you happen to be interested yourself I can send you more details.

Were you able to purchase umbrella insurance for your properties? 

Hi, long time follower, however not too much on posting.Goal: I’m looking to purchase a 3 family property in central CT.Position: Currently I own two condominiums that are under an LLC.

As an investor and a commercial real estate broker I would not expect a buyer  to spend a dime on due diligence unless the buyer/seller come to an agreement on a purchase contract.
