The actual insurance premiums in PA are regulated by the state with some exceptions (most notably approved attorneys).

I can’t stress enough how important it is to stay focused and avoid some of these common pitfalls early on.Quick thoughts:Find the right Realtor – Make sure they’ve got some skin in the game with househacking or investment experience.Budget = Game Plan – That pre-approval is your marching orders.

Another PUD approval!!!

Approval is expected later this month.

Carriers are blocking any Real Estate-related messages, and 10DLC campaigns are not being approved if they relate to Real Estate.

I've also been pre-approved for a $125K HELOC against my current residence, which I plan to use for the rehab and landscaping.

A short sale is basically a pre-foreclosed property, and the sellers Broker can walk them through obtaining a short sale approval with their financial investor/mortgage company… the seller is not liable for paying the broker or any additional debt that has been agreed upon by their investor/mortgage company, including the Broker’s commission.  

A couple of thoughts specific to condo investing:1) Be sure to include the condo fees into your cashflow analysis, and budget for potential assessments as projected capital expenses2) Make sure the condo association is solvent - a good litmus test is whether or not the units are approved for FHA financing3) Make sure the condo association rules/regs allow for rentalsGood luck!

I don't think any lender will approve you if you are trying to buy multi-family in WA as your primary residence with your work being in located in CO.  

Analyze deals, get pre-approved for financing, and set goals.Good luck!
