The more time you buy, the more time you have of crafting a sale or reinstatement that works for your benefit.

My takeaway is that you can always be continuing to refine your craft.   

I also suggest having them help you craft an a straight option agreement as well.Make sure it's clear you have no intention to buy the property but you are selling contracts as a business, and doing this without a real estate license, you're now selling securities without a securities license as well.

Use keyword rich content when crafting your descriptions.Check out what other people are renting their places out for on Airbnb and compare it to yours and adjust pricing accordingly.

Dodd Frank was crafted with input (lobbying) from these same big banks that caused the crisis.

Become an apprentice to the craft you want to master.

@Gabrielle Rayner its best to look for someone who is local and highly successful at their craft.

@Edward Burke What you are looking for is an Insurance Policy that replaces the Coinsurance clause with the Agreed Value clause.This policy gives you the ability to insure a building for less than the Replacement Cost, without being penalized for not insuring 100% of the Replacement Cost.Most companies do not offer this coverage, which is why your not getting great responses to your request.Also, if your calling the companies you list above, they are not players in the commercial Insurance space, and the agents don't have the ability to craft a policy to your needs.There are several insurance carriers that can do this. 

Both are great spots, Vis Major is the place where I typically schedule the meetups and in my opinion has some of the best craft beer as well as a really cool atmosphere.I am registered to run/jog on Sunday.Look forward to meeting you!

The focus will be on finding good deals and this craft will develop with the more properties you analyze.
