I bough my first rental (duplex, non-owner occupied) 2 years ago and would appreciate feedback on my replacement reserve amount, and thoughts on needing flood insurance in a non-flood plane.

THEN  for the cost of a plane ticket and hotel for a few days of head to head meetings I think is a great investment. 

I have a natural nervousness as i am planing to start this business.

He had planed on me dying & sold the property!

  - Risk to buyer: HOA balance is high and seller can not afford it (planing to rent the property in order to pay - transaction canceled. seller loose construction money- Risk to buyer: if finance and loan can't close or property didn't get appraised. - Risk to seller: contractor injure & will sue owner on record- Risk to seller: Contractor cause an error with plumbing or electric - can be costly to  seller since until the deed not signed - property still belong to seller and buyer can just loose escrow. 

Hi I have a few family members from out of country the would like to lend me money for my real estate venture .They are not US citizen, they don't have a us bank account and not planing on coming here any time soon.What is the best way to utilize their money?

It appears you're very new to this and it's like learning to fly after you're in the plane...seldom works out well.

It ends up being a plane ride away.
