If the violations took place prior to purchase, I would at least give them written notice that you are aware of the previous violations and that just one under your watch would result in an eviction.in the meantime, I would shop for new insurance and pass the increase on to the tenant.

Rates that low don't make sense especially if they're a no doc shop.

Hi Carlos,I am in Madison, WI and we shopped around a lot when moving a few years ago and used Neckerman Agency (now McClone) who are insurance brokers. 

New furniture, coat of paint, and some minor rehab to the decking.

I've also launched a residential real estate painting company.

We asked the owner if we could start painting the house before the closing date...

A tall fence, tree, exterior paint can control a lot of things your guest see during their stay.

When you can communicate both your strategy and criteria (and are financially credible), you can leverage your network and get meetings with brokers who are willing to shop for you.

The item that I hate shopping for the most is dressers, and nothing else comes remotely close. 

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