Hi Malcolm, With your strategy of holding multi-family properties or flipping, the key is running the numbers carefully to match your goals.

I would read the PPM carefully, and understand how the Syndicator is getting compensated. 

New construction properties can qualify for significant insurance discounts, but otherwise, I generally expect insurance in this area to run a little over 1% of the property’s value if it’s in decent condition.Feel free to DM me if you’d like a good insurance contact to shop around for a better rate.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

Many Realtors will suggest purchasing a property using a FHA Loan, to reduce your out of pocket money.

PS - Since 2003, Dean & DeWitt Property Management has helped investors buy, sell, and manage investment properties in the St.

There are a lot of options out there.Some of the most useful items BiggerPockets members have identified are features that save time so they can spend time working on their next property.

Poor communicators, poor housekeeping skills, prescription med abuse, big dogs that they couldn't properly care for, damaging, etc.

What is the property appreciation in that market? 

Rental arbitrage can be a great way to start with Airbnb if approached carefully.
