Our first two projects were conservative by choice and combined yielded in excess of mid six figure return. 

New to RE investing and learning about different financing options to fuel my flipping business.

I did eventually find a carrier in the Excess/Surplus lines that would write the insurance. 

This comes from the book Rocket Fuel - buy it, read it, live by it, read it again, take notes.

The double transfer of title between LLC and personal name looks excessive.

A person goes to fuel station, pumps 20 gal of gas but only has $ to pay for 5gal, what happens????  

There are also lots of fancy doodads on some of them where you can save money on fuel, or feel good about saving the environment- if that's your thing.

My goal is to own more rental properties, and was wondering whats the best strategy to achieve this, with regards to what to do with monthly excess money. 

If they rented sight unseen, there should have been an as-is clause in the lease because of that.It does seem excessive given the handyman found nothing at move out (and assuming he did a good job of the inspection). 

We have a multi family rental unit which uses oil for home/water heating.Our tenants are responsible for purchasing their own heating oil.We are trying to figure out a way to determine when/if our tenant is running out of fuel.Our maintenance person has communicated that one unit has repeatedly run out of fuel, creating an increase service cost on their boiler.I know there are WiFi options to meter usage.
