But in the business world that is collaboration and is expected.

I think there are 2-300 members and everyone has been very supportive and collaborative, helping each other grow through JVs, encouragement, and advice, etc.  

I grab the data and enhance it with the name of the bidder (if I have it) and the type of property.

The policy came in at $4124.I let the broker pick what he thought was reasonable as a starting point and it looks like $2M in General Aggregate, 2M in Products and Completed Operations, $1M each occurrence, $1M personal and advertising injury, $500k damage to rented premises, $10k medical expenses, a line that says $1.11M as the limit on the building, 80% co-insurance, $5k wind deductible, $5k AOP deductible, and a property enhancement endorsement.Clearly I need to have him walk me through this, but are there any good self-study resources AND any good rules of thumb I could apply to see whether this is reasonable? 

I had a question about the 2012 survey BiggerPockets ran in collaboration with Memphis invest.Specifically, in the following question, the percentage age up to more than 100% (129% to be exact) - does anyone know why that's the case?  

For example, a cashflow investor may be looking further down the road, but is looking for above average cashflow to re-position, improve, or otherwise enhance a property to hold it long term.Hope that helps.Good Luck,Jim

I was going to start a mailing campaign on foreclosures from a list I was going to get from Foreclosures Daily and at the same time go knocking on doors with my partner to enhance our chances of getting a deal.

I'll spare you the details, but a phone call with Baltimore permitting revealed they would love to turn this simple task into VERY expensive enhancement (of which I could find no basis for in all the MD, Baltimore, or International Building Code books).So, I'm curious if any other Baltimore City landlords, rehabbers, or property mangers have ever had a similar experience?

It can be a hangout at a physical location, or setup as online collaboration.

Or to enhance knowledge.
