You paid $266 per square foot.

👀I never even drove past the place, much less set foot in it.  

You can't shoot from the hip, you will shoot your foot off.Let's pretend you get by the first step, your asset checks out in the appraisal process. 

I've typically been doing the foot work.

Held at CAPK Friendship House, the event featured local developers Max Becerra and Eric Mora, who presented plans for over 1,600 rental units in projects like Mulberry Village and Mayflower Ranch, as well as a 110,000-square-foot retail center with the area's first grocery store.Significant city support includes a 2.5-mile sewer line and plans to annex parts of the area into Bakersfield.

Recently I started working with a college kid who is doing some wholesaling to make some money and get his foot in the RE door.He had read about house hacking with a partner, where he applies for the FHA loan and finds a partner to cover the down payment.  

And yes you could invest the money for a deal ... but lets be STRAIGHT . with 2k you get the basic education / foot in the door.

And I pay $3.50 per yard for installation.Total, that's about $9 per square yard, or about $1 per square foot.

:P There isn't anywhere near enough information in the original post to provide specific advice so I asked the poster to reach out.  10,000 foot overview the best advice would be to speak with a knowledgeable INDEPENDENT insurance agent and be as forthright as possible with your situation. 

So my initial plan was to get in touch with them some how and get on a call then present my deal, but as I said before I can't really get my foot in the door
