If you build a relationship with a Banker you can call and have a detailed conversation about rates.

Quote from @Austin Ralls: Good evening BP Community, Can anyone shine some light on the rules and regulations on striking conversations with local pros and acquiring more PML to help fund deals? 

Hello Meir,I live and invest in Birmingham area, please DM to connect!

I have a client that bought a condo to rent after living there and the HOA ended up outlawing rentals.

This could be a huge opportunity for investors who can find cheap conversions (think: a SF with an existing in law apartment).

I recently had a conversation with a Russian-speaking realtor from Ohio and wanted to share some insights:Competition among investors is very strong.

@Kyle Carter, The strategy you're looking at would be what is called a "consolidation exchange". followed by a conversion to your primary residence. 

I live in Stamford, Ct and Fort Lauderdale, Fl.

When you live in that duplex for 2 years and then sell you'll be able to take 50% of the profit tax free (the allocation for the side you lived in). 

However, I'm assuming that my private investors won't agree to a POF unless they see the deal.Should I have a conversation with my private investors and ask how much they would be willing to lend?
