@Kiryl Ulanovich,You're on the right track:Get Pre-Approval from Hard Money Lender – Know your terms and limits upfront.Find a Deal Through a Wholesaler – Verify numbers and ensure it meets your criteria.Review the Assignment of Contract – Confirm terms, earnest money, and contingencies.Conduct Due Diligence – This includes an inspection (if allowed), verifying ARV, and rehab estimates.Submit to Hard Money Lender for Final Approval – Lender will review title, contract, and property condition.Title Search & Clear Any Issues – Ensure a clean title before closing.Close Through Title Company – Finalize funding and take ownership.Consider also lining up contractors early for a smooth transition into renovations.

Now, I run a PM company.

How do I research the company?  

@Greg O'Brien - Do you mind sharing your company details? 

Have your notified your insurance agent/company that you are no longer living in the property and that it's under renovation?

I personally use a company called swift permits.

Hi Benjamin, call three insurance companies and get a quote, start there first.

It might have been bound but many insurance companies have put those new policies on hold if the purchase has not happened due to the disaster and letting the mortgagee(lender) know that the policy is on hold.

Plus the mortgage company probably calls the loan, and if you can't pay it off then you can lose the property.

Hiring a property management company with experience in the markets you're considering can be a game-changer.Have you identified which markets you want to invest in?
