So, sitting at 16+ units means that I now how had to start the "duct tape" approach . . . piecing together the policies that "other companies will write", who largely disdain investment properties.I'm not sure what the TH in SF/TH means, but I imagine the crux of the question is the same as what I'm having now:  when in comes to insurance, how do we scale a single family portfolio?

I became tired of the BS and too much drama.I like commercial tenants because I can see their liquidity and net worth statements and there is less red tape with obscure laws slanted toward the residential tenants rights.I am in awe of how some of you deal with the residential tenants all the time.

That story is so worth $500 for a new fridge.Personally, I'd put some duct tape on the inside and outside of it, and you've got a new man cave fridge for yourself.

Lots of deferred maintenance, not major things, but stained asphalt shingles, gutters need replaced, brick building need power washed, a couple of the fascia and soffit boards need replaced, all trim needs painting, ugly amateur ceiling repair where leak occurred, missing drop ceiling tiles in bathroom, no landscaping.

I see a lot potential opportunities for buy and hold SFH and wanted to know about the red tape and nuances dealing with the county such as getting permits, inspections, fees etc. any feedback will help, thank you.

$500k, or $5M without hesitationLet the tape do the talking- no better returns with $'s invested ANYWHEREhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_b5hu-UrEBU2i1nTZJlYNce5-H8N1MsuSi83yK2rOX0/edit#gid=0

Busted asphalt driveway.

The way to do it is have an angle and get them before they hit the MLS, otherwise it's all red tape and bidding wars.

Video tape everything and take pictures.

So they end up having to tape the notices to the front door and garage door.
