Our approach is to establish a long term relationship with our sub contractors (captive subs) that we used on all our jobs.

Set the tall-bucket into the hole and fill around it with stone up to grade.Buy a small sump pump with a captive vertical on/off switch - not a free-floating or electronic switch - on it.  

Do not go the captive route (all state, State Farm, farmers).

I’d been captivated by the idea of real estate investing through constant YouTube videos and BiggerPockets content.

I felt like a captive with my own home.

Please make sure to use an independent insurance brokerage as we have access to a multitude of carriers instead of a captive agency that only uses one carrier.

I do some, but it is not cheap.It would be much cheaper to take someone to a nice steak dinner and you have them captive for an hour.

Most title companies have what we would call a "captive"QI that is a large national QI firm. 

Your current agent (and many captive agents) will not have much knowledge on writing larger real estate investment portfolios because the carrier they use literally does not allow them to write larger accounts...Please let me know if I can help with anythjng!

The house was VERY unique, the type of house that captivated you, soon as you walked in with every room giving you amazing views at one of highest elevations in all of McHenry County.
