We are still dealing with national supply chain issues on certain materials which has driven up the cost of almost everything.

On average, homes in the area have seen an increase of 8.18%, significantly higher than the national average, which typically ranges between 2-3%. 

There were at least 4 maybe 5 individuals on Dave’s team that handled numerous things like; getting any necessary info from me and the title company, providing my account statement (proof of funds) for the sellers of my replacement, working with ERG for the exchange documents I needed to sign for both closings, and getting the 45-day form filled out and sent back to ERG.

Quote from @Ko Kashiwagi: Hi Anna,Are you investing as a foreign national (with visa, Green card or ssn)?

@Andrew ThomasSorry you I was shift my focus from purchasing my personal residence to purchasing my first investment property as a realtor you should have access to a program called realist you can easily go in there and search for out-of-state or out of County owners one of the best ways to Market is handwritten envelopes it is almost a guaranteed open versus any other kind of marketing realist has so much information how long people have owned the property with their mortgages Etc I would also try to find as many wholesalers as possible and sign up for their list and look at how they are packaging their properties you will need to go and join some investment clubs a national Club you could potentially join is called Lifestyles Unlimited I'm sure the information they teach is also available on Bigger Pockets at the end of the day if you have a great deal you will always be able to find an investor for it

However, I just checked a national underwriter's manual, and it appears CD's are insurable, but there are criteria unique to them. 

I've been a land broker in southern California for the past fifteen years, selling land both to the big, national builders and also to boutique builders. 

city / state reversed the law that made all drugs legal that was a bone head move .. and they finally figured that one out.. the next one they need to reverse is that any theft under 900.00 basically is just a ticket and not enforced thats also led to the rampant theft that has closed down numerous business's . 

I would checkout STR nation, there's a lot of accountants that go to that to help short term rental investors. 

I am newer to this but have done years of research, read books, and read numerous posts on this forum.
