I’ve always felt that if I find a property in an area where "I’d want to live," is usually a good sign, but I’m curious how you go about underwriting a deal.I’m in Phoenix, and I’ve been looking at the surrounding cities too.

For example, I imagine in a market like Detroit, a neighborhood, at-large, may be filled with mostly Class A properties (in comparison to the rest of the surrounding suburb and/or city); but, I would think that the quality of these properties can be further subdivided within themselves too.

This is not the first I have heard this in the industry surrounding Solo 401(k)'s.

No matter which path you take in real estate, surrounding yourself with professionals from different fields—contractors, lenders, brokers, investors.

You are sum total of the people you surround yourself with.I am a Tardus paying client, none of us that recently posted get any sort of kickback or referral fee for talking about our experiences on BP (although I do believe there is a referral bonus if you refer a new client...but it is nominal enough that no one is trying to bring in new members soley for this bonus). 

Surplus line is what I have been looking for as I am involved with an older property that is typically found to be uninsurable by a lot of other mainstream insurance companies due to the properties age and some of its original features and surroundings, I just have a question and have done some reading on this and it's really not too clear and it sounds it can go either way really with this and I'm fairly new to all this so I am learning a lot of things as I go but should the private non traditional mortgage lender be listed as additional insured while the person occupying & buying the home and also purchasing the property from the lender be listed as mortgagee?

I started looking in surrounding areas and found that the markets less established or still rebuilding had much higher cap rates.

Hey @Toby Khan I'm actively buying in Wichita and the surrounding areas.

It requires considerable infrastructure investment.

would love to hear more about this, visited lisboa this past year and really really enjoyed it and the surrounding areas.
