Big cities tend to have more regulations, more crime, more leftist-leaning policies that hurt investors and private property rights, etc.

I’m curious to hear from private real estate investors who’ve faced unexpected insurance claims and were protected by an umbrella insurance policy.We often see discussions whether investors should use an LLC or an umbrella insurance policy.

All in all it ended up taking just over 2 months to get the plans approved because everything had to be done by email.

Very unlikely unless you find a private lender/individual to do this as a one-off. 

This is in a town that has a very good Private College - Baylor University.

Shooting you a private message in a few. 

Coos Bay - The main delay with application in this area is whether the property is on public utilities or has a septic system and private or public water source.

With software like propstream I can even look at seller mortgage details and MLS private remark.Getting license you only know the legality aspect of being an agent but doesn't necessarily means you would be a smarter one to get to know the market.The only thing that I can not do with propstream is I can not download all disclosures when I try to purchase.

I can buy a 2-4 unit with 20% down vs conventional can only buy a 2-4 INVESTMENT property with 25% down 4. there are options where DSCR loans dont repot to personal credit, helps in not having to show a bunch of paperwork or not one person in a partnership has to carry the debt5. way less paperwork to close on this loan type vs a conventional loan. we care about the income of the property you're buying and it's ability to service the debt of the property whether we use long term rents income, lease income, or air dna/bnb income.6. easily buy in partnerships, add people to your operating agreement, its as easy as that so bring partners into a deal. helps with scaling and raising capital or getting partners involved7. gift funds allowed to close on these as well, and like I said earlier, there's only a 10day seasoning period of funds with some lenders so that means you can literally have a private money lender deposit money into your account 11 days before closing, and you can use those funds to close!

If I wasn't able to get the cash together, using a private lender would've been a good option.
