I've had to use Craigslist a couple times in a pinch because I didn't know anyone local and needed pictures asap. 

I lived for free for a couple years, while collecting rent checks. 

Coupled with persistently high interest rates that may last for years, rising insurance premiums are inevitable, regardless of your property’s condition.

If I can get around this situation, it would be worth carrying some costs for a couple months but if eviction prolongs, a good deal will go bad quick.

There may be something called a "Due On Sale" clause.Check and see if all tax parcels are included in one mortgage or if they have separate mortgages.You have to have him spell out what he considers to be a "partial seller financing".

You can simply request a separate check for the $100 increase to bring the total deposit in line with the new rent amount.

That's why we require clients to spend a couple days with us in Milwaukee up front, so we can get on the same page and determine an asset quality.Hint: the hood looks much better on a spreadsheet than up close in person.

Your experience as a real estate agent, coupled with your technical expertise, makes you a strong asset to the local investment community.Your “live and flip” strategy and focus on PML partnerships sound like a smart approach to building your portfolio.

Indisposed the next couple days but will reach out soon!

Nothing wrong with only a couple of properties that print money.Side note: I was a mech Engineer in Winnipeg before I switched to being a Realtor and I was making $73k as an EIT so you should definitely be getting paid more.
