Any recommendations for Umbrella insurance providers for each partner to cover any liability?

I'm local here in Houston and happy to help with any recommendations needing along your way! 

I’m open to any advice, recommended resources, or lessons learned from your experiences.I believe that growth comes from community and shared knowledge, so I’m here to both learn from you and contribute wherever I can.

I recommend reaching out to the builders directly to negotiate any potential arrangements.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

I highly recommend going with a LOCAL LENDER ie in the same state, and preferably from the same area of the state you are looking.  

But I fully recommend talking to a seasoned vet or an agent first.

Have you read any of the books here in the BP shop yet - I'd definitely recommend the BRRRR book among others. 

It's a balance of cashflow and wealth accumulation.One of the goals is to have tenants pay as much of your cost-of-ownership as possible (loans, taxes, insurance, etc.)In high-cost areas, any Class A or B property you buy will usually negative cashflow for the first 3-5 years, until rents rise enough to cover the negative cashflow + rising taxes & insurance.Investing OOS increases your risks because you may not know the market and you can't check on everything/everyone all the time.If you move forward with your buddies, HIGHLY recommend creating a solid Partnership Agreement!
