Are there any insurance companies that people would recommend for this investment strategy that do operate in the Austin, TX area?

There are so many ins and outs when buying distressed homes it's definitely something you'll want to be able to lay your hands on, at the beginning at least.Buying turnkeys is a great option as well, there are some larger companies who offer lower interest rate options while operating in more affordable states that are landlord friendly.

(Which can be documented by your septic company if there is a clog or backup).

Hunting leases are a popular way to generate steady income, especially in rural areas.Solar or Wind Leasing: If your land is in an area with good sunlight or wind, companies might be interested in leasing it to install solar panels or wind turbines.

Haven't walked a property in years and just did one with my team a few weeks ago.I forgot the thrill of seeing these things derelict and then fixing them up.What a pleasure to see the transformation.What started as a simple dream for me of moving to the US and buying, fixing, holding a few properties and moving back to Australia turned into thousands of rehabs, many companies, staff and monsters with 17 heads lolIt's nice going back to the basics of how it all began.Just simply checking out distressed properties, negotiating, buying and fixing them up.Ahhhh, the good old days 🙏

Different companies have different fees and - more importantly - not all managers are created equal.Remember: cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

Quote from @Sonja Revells: @Chris Seveney primarily Padsplits  I would speak to a few lenders first before going through all these hoops, as I started to do this then when talking to banks they were basically telling me either get a secured mortgage as they will not lend to a real estate company on unsecured credit/debt.

But, the timing was harder on the next one where I was out of state and negotiating my employment contract with the company that acquired the startup I'd worked at for over 5 years.

If you have a management company be sure to underwrite their fees as well.  

To say I'm very frustrated with this company is an understatement.
