I suggest this option for younger folks who are starting out...and of course, keep working a "normal" job for a bit to continue upping your income to buy more investments (whether in RE or otherwise).

It seems from your posting that it is normal to wait months for news.The agent in our insurance company said if he was us he would go to a public adjuster! 

Welders, pipefitters, boilermakers, electricians are my normal tenants. 

I’ve noticed that credit unions tend to have slightly better interest rates since they typically are not for profit whereas a normal bank or broker is.

Escrow is a neutral party that holds funds so opening escrow as soon as the contract is signed is normal and sometimes done before a property is under contract.

I understand everything you are looking for, but if it were actually a normality, everyone on earth would be a wealthy and successful investor by now.

Hopefully, they will come after summer.For students housing, normally, big apartment with more bedrooms is more profitable. 

Is it normal to have private money funds get wired to individuals business or personal account since he already has possession of the property? 

Every time a tenant moved out 3 out of 8 evictions or so, it felt like a gamble, with someone leaving the place in ruins. 

It was difficult to find an insurer to finally provide full coverage at under $2k, about double normal rates for my area.
