Santarelli as an absolute industry expert (podcast, websites, press, social media advertisement) cause investors to have a false sense of security.

Buy your flips with soft created Paper secured by a flip you’d like to keep.  

We base the required off of historical code compliance items, Section 8, safety & security, habitability, etc. 

You can use Schlage, Operto, NoiseAware, and Ring Camera for monitoring and security. :)

You notify them you will be purchasing the policy for them and doing so with their security deposit money, if state law allows it. 

If you don't do correctly courts will throw it out and you will have wasted a lot of time.Good luck!

We just had one last week...the "I thought we were past this" meltdown of being 42, financially secure, and doing another live in flip. 

While I know this throws off my calculations a bit they are still directionally correct.Here are the numbers for my first property:Cash To Purchase - $53,250.25Mortgage Payments - $43,980.00Expenses - $16,738.02Total Cash Invested - $113,968.27Total Cashflow - $22,041.81Appreciation - $81,800.00Debt Paydown - $10,143.12Estimated Tax Deductions - $45,163.55Total Returns - $159,148.48Total Return % = 139.64%I have owned the property for 42 months so my annual returns have been 39.90%. 

As I’m nearing retirement, I just invested a similar amount in first trust deeds secured by real estate at 9.75%.

Often, they don't need to be moved in by the time of the appraisal, but if you have a signed lease, first month's rent receipt, and a receipt of the security deposit then the lender will often treat the property as occupied which can help increase your max loan amount in some cases.
