@Dave Rav - I agree with the others that there is no really good way to estimate insurance costs, but I've found some consistency within a particular market/zip code if the rebuild costs and deductibles are the same.

I vetoed that the instant i found out.

The only issue I've found is that it's hard to find a lender willing to provide a HELOC in second position (behind your initial mortgage) for an investment property.

My out-of-state clients have found rentals for $120k-$180k.

Thanks for the replies everything.I'm new to the eviction process so I found an eviction guide for Michigan (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/697/topics/518334-michi...)Since I'm not located in Michigan, should I hire an eviction attorney to manage the entire process for me or should I have the property management company issue the 30-day notice to quit?

The only thing I can do to help justify it is that now with income in the highest tax bracket, I am saving 37% on any depreciation I can get.Will someone either wake me up to my new found delusions or encourage me that I am still on the right track.

What strategies have you found most successful in ensuring clear communication, trust, and mutual satisfaction?

Hi @Joel Di Piazza, exactly what you’re looking for can be found when working with @Josh Green as your realtor.

I’ve found a few properties that might be good deals if the list price can be negotiated down a little (~10%).
