Quote from @V.G Jason: The first and foremost reason most people don't work with BP agents is cause 99%  of them are absolute trash.

It is one of the reasons I like a Wrap Note and Mortgage (or Deed of Trust). 

In a suburban area, typically a 1 mile radius is the benchmark and you need a good reason to go out farther. 

In fact, the law says she is supposed to request a "reasonable accommodation" and get your permission before moving the animal in.

They care about what they estimate it would cost to rebuild the home.All else being equal, yes, older homes are more expensive to insure than newer homes for a variety of reasons. 

Posted twice for some reason.  

Do not allow dog until proof of insurance with you as additional insured given.also, keep in mind you only need to provide reasonable accommodation. 

There are really great REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are particularly lucrative - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

From there we identify properties that could have some potential and if you are interesting in diving deeper, 1) we do a thorough video walkthrough to give you a realistic look of the property, 2) we give a ballpark estimate of rehab costs (we do 40 a year with our GCs o we will get pretty close), 3) we talk through market rent with our property management team, ARV, and potential highest and best use.Ideally you find great investor agents who know their market really well and have a network of resources to provide you with enough confidence to take reasonable action. 

And, know this: the #1 reason why landlords fail is their failure to manage to the lease.
