You need to carry a special type of health insurance, not the traditional kind.

First, it is necessary to achieve favorable financing terms and  secondly, I do believe cash flow should carry most rental properties with limited exceptions.

I ONLY carry performing debt, debt that pays me to hold it.

Received a letter that they are more than doubling my monthly fee + a $50 meter reading fee, and unfortunately this is a cost that the state does not allow us to pass along to the tenant!

Nationwide sent a non-renewal letter for an 8-plex, claiming property was within 1 mile of a fire hazard zone.

Back in 1978 when I was starting my real estate investing career I purchased a SFR for $55,000 (its current value) with $5,000 down and the seller carrying a 30 year mortgage at 5% interest.

Just curious why a certified letter would help? 

My question is; is it better to not ask the seller to pay for the buyer agent's commission (not include it in the offer letter) so that I pay it by myself and get a tax write off on this commission expense for the ADU's sqft portion?

We try to limit as much risk as possible while reducing the capital carry. 

To be sure, both deportations and tariffs will likely be carried out, but they will most likely be minute in scale vs US GDP.
