There's always so many personal items left behind in the home we have to sort through.

Since I don't have a W2 anymore, I can't qualify for any sort of equity loan on my current home so I don't see my home's equity as a means to do anything unless I sell.  

When I'm selecting an insurance provider, what sort of things should I be looking for?

I would have expected most of the growing pains to be sorted by now.

Nobody likes them, but tbh when something like that happens I sort of smile!

And I generally require a sponsor that has full real estate cycle experience with little to no money lost, low leverage, high skin in the game and reasonable fees and promotes.However, other investors will look at these deals as bad/too boring for them because they are more aggressive and not concerned about the risks of default, refinance, interest rates changing etc.

The ARV supports the juice, but I think either my "perfect world" has to be compromised, or a HELOC of some sort- if I can. 

Does their contract have some sort of contingency that allows them to apply for a billboard and back out if its rejected?

then later maybe after doing that a few times you can raise capital and have some sort of trust with ppl since $ is trust-based.
