Quote from @Alec Jacobs: I am wrapping up a lot of the rehab of my first rental property and I was wondering how a basement of a rental should look like?

Is it possible to get a loans on a paid off investment property that does not have  homeowners insurance?

The property is a small three unit multifamily. 

Finding a property to buy is WAY easier than finding investors.  

@Timothy Blackman- thanks  ...get some referrals for lenders from friends / co workers ...contact them all on the same day with the same criteria and ask them any questions you have and  ask for some scenarios ...compare the  feedback and service they provide ...pick one lender to get pre approved with ,,once you have a property - contact all lenders again for pricing options for the actual loan you will need ...hopefully the lender you chose for pre approval will be competitive in their pricing ..good luck

I’m buying a property with my son as the primary.

I like one of our attorneys viewpoint (from our REI) who owns lots of property, He holds properties that have mortgages in his own name and holds larger properties where he has partners in an LLC.

I’m trying to get a better understanding of the unlevered IRR hurdles SFR / BTR investors have for value-add improvements.By "value-add improvements" I’m referring to upgrades made to a property that increase rent or purchase value, often including kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, solar and other energy efficiency improvements, fresh paint, a new garage door, finishing a basement, adding a deck, and updating flooring, to name a few.I’ve been hearing a lot of different reactions to this question the last few months.

@Laura CasnerFocus on quality over quantity in real estate investing, celebrate progress, refine criteria, explore secondary markets, and explore different property types.

and buying a property is actually very expensive.
