Separate issue is only 13% of CA homeowners pay for earthquake insurance because it's so expensive and the deductible can be really high.What are your re-building costs in your area?

Currently scheduled to close on my first triplex next month and excited to connect with other RE professionals in the area to help me along. 

Nearly all the investors I work with need to be re-educated about expectations.

Mainly for it's re-usability and flexibility. 

Recognize in this RE environment it is unlikely to be a get rich quick environment without a full time dedication to value adds.  

Do you have any RE experience?

Re-read your contracts, document your correspondence (and attempts) with your builder and demand documentation to match up any payments/draws with what's actually been competed on your build.

This level of professionalism becomes second nature.Frankly, when you come from a corporate background and you enter REI you are shocked by how primitive most "investors" operate.

Everything in the other states we're involved in has re-opened or is in the process of re-opening.
