It is also helpful because we are Realtors and real estate investors and it provides a cushion for months that are leaner than others.

Quote from @Sophanara Khoeun: Quote from @Krystyna Schexnayder: For me personally, as a property manager and business owner, I truly believe this is not only about real estate, its a business of building relationships, and I think just being aligned with the basic principle that what we put out is what we get back, so I would be remissed not to oblige a new investors inquires. 

Best of luck in your real estate adventures.  

@Izraul Hidashi - Is this a real question or a riddle?  

I’m curious to hear from private real estate investors who’ve faced unexpected insurance claims and were protected by an umbrella insurance policy.We often see discussions whether investors should use an LLC or an umbrella insurance policy.

be sure to stick to your 70% rule for the flip, know your numbers. run everything conservatively. overbudget for time and costs but 15-20% Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

We came to an arrangement where any sale price over $1 million, minus construction costs, would result in a profit-sharing opportunity.I’m currently trying to determine the After Repair Value (ARV) for the property but am having difficulty finding reliable comparables.

If you can manage to keep up with the real estate market in these markets that we have come to hit, and still be able to navigate the unchartered waters.

- explicitly mentions the end of the year next to the word "attained": ...who is a child of the taxpayer (within the meaning of section 152(f)(1)) who has not attained the age of 19 at the close of the taxable year...Sounds like a reliable pattern, right?

In real estate its messy and there are always repairs and capX projects that seemingly pop up from time to time.
