@Joel Oh- if you are using a loan to acquire the property - the lender  requires  insurance ....if you own the property  free and  clear - your  choice  but I would still  recommend  insurance 

If you need more to do the rehab, perhaps instead of partnering, you could get your former boss to do a personal loan. 

Sounds like either some of the information provided may have been exaggerated or changed, or possibly you could have been dealing with an identity theft situation as well.

Do you provide personalized guidance, or is the mentorship more of a one-size-fits-all approach?

I use PropStream for list pulling and comps (mainly comps) and have found that in the least few months their system is providing wildly inaccruate data.

It also wouldn't make sense to refi into another Bridge unless he's at the end of his period on the loan!  

Once the HELOC is in place, your father-in-law could loan you the funds to invest in real estate.

I'm hesitant to give up my conventional loans on the next cash out refinance for DSCR loans.

However, don't have any of those loans anymore (most paid off).The only thing I do that you don't, is use trusts, and love them and they have saved my bacon a number of times.When you said all those loans have paid off, are you utilizing other methods than Sub2 at this time?

In the case of floating-rate loans, interest rate caps would be a prudent measure to take as well.Multifamily Sector FundamentalsThe underlying fundamentals for the multifamily sector are very strong right now.
