Any recommendations for the best affordable Insurance for Landlords (rental properties)I currently have ASI (American Strategic Insurance) a Progressive company, but I am wondering what others have found to be affordable. 

Looking forward to hearing more as it progresses! 

Those that are truly committed to learning and open to engaging I have seen make the most progress.

I'd try to buy and find something ugly and make the changes progressively before you leave, gain that equity, recast a bit, and in 4-5 years rent it out.

If you’re considering financing renovations, look into renovation loans that cover both the purchase and improvement costs.It sounds like you're making progress in navigating this situation thoughtfully.

Focus on understanding the path of progress, identifying rental properties with the most potential, learning the seasonality trends, and figuring out which upgrades will really move the needle in that area.

Here is a progress update from a small-time investor in Connecticut who is trying to achieve financial freedom.

It sounds like you’re making great progress with your BRRRR strategy.

That's great if you got a home run deal, but the reality for your first one is to try and live for free, and then get better for HH #2, and then incrementally better for HH#3, as you progress in your investing career, you will be able to recognize those great deals, but it is much harder in the beginning since you have a huge learning curve. 

They are all long term, except one is a flip in progress.
