I currently have 3 LTR and soon will be remodeling a small family-owned shopping center in Wimberley, Texas. 

Aim to rep seller but if they are unwilling to work with you, ask if they'd still be willing to allow you to shop the deal around to your buyers.

I enjoy networking and talking shop.

If you have the time to shop around, first look at your local consignment shops, nextdoor or facebook.

@Jennifer FernézHouse Hacking a primary residence is the best way to generate wealth for the typical American.

At the time I looked, 20 or so years ago, the problem with smaller down towns is the proliferation of nearby strip malls, where the stores are surrounded by a large parking lots, and for laundromats, attract more customers as they can park easily, walk to adjacent stores for shopping, snacks, and browse newspaper and magazine racks, which explains why they do better, there's more customers.

First American and Chicago won't do them and Fidelity and ORNT last I heard would consider it with an affidavit that the purchase price was disclosed to the buyer, which basically defeats the purpose of a double close.

I have talk to 4 insurance brokers, and directly to many companies such as allstate, steadily, safeco, liberty, american summit, american family, and a few other, but am basically out of options.

I found this property while driving for dollars after leaving the local barbershop/garage shop 🤣.
