With insurance companies canceling policies and raising rates has anyone uncovered a way to self insure rental properties?  

Great place to meet other investors, agents, property managers, and contractors.

Rent payments from the medical LLC are fully deductible as a business expense, while the property-owning LLC will report the rent as taxable income, which can be offset by deductions for expenses like mortgage interest, property taxes, maintenance, and depreciation.To ensure compliance, document how FMV was determined—using market comparisons, an appraisal, or similar data—and draft a formal lease agreement outlining the terms, rent amount, and responsibilities.

One thing that DSCR is not really set up for is if the property is "Subject to" meaning not move in ready/live able.

I've worn three hats in the seller financing world (as a property buyer, as a property seller offering terms, and as an investor that buys seller financed note). 

I’m planning to do this for 3 multifamily properties all located in MA, each ranging from 2 to 4 units.
