We cover a large geographical area (nearly 400 miles) because there are usually only a few STR eligible properties for sale in any given city.  

How will the partnership cash flow cover the HELOC payments if interest rates increase?

And all the tenants' security deposits and all the buyers'Earnest Money Deposits don't need my asset protection, as they are not my funds, and are certainly not covered by any of our Umbrella Insurance Policies. 

We are now suing them in TX small claims court as the security deposit was not enough to cover the 2 - 3 months rent after they trashed the house. 

I personally used a 40k ADU grant with CALFHA HPP Cares that covered a chunk of the cost.

The main factor is will rents cover the debt liability and can you sustain 3-4 months of no income to cover the debt? 

Hi Melissa - Yes, I saw these and I’m leaning towards https://learntitlesearching.comthe content creator is on YouTube there’s  ‘about’ page contact info, phone, email etc.The other class might be fine~ but site is missing ‘about’ info, no contact no name, no phone no number no email- not clear who they are.ALTA is specialized/ costly (I’m requesting  some  cost covered by a job training program) so far I took a few quick low cost basic classes here: Understanding title reports , Basics of Title reports and escrow from online edhttps://www.onlineed.com/catalog?

Any recommendations for Umbrella insurance providers for each partner to cover any liability?

There is a lot of stuff to cover, so try to make as much time for it as you can while working your W2.
