Insurance however, informed me that they are cancelling the insurance because of exterior paint peeling and some damage to the bottom of the walls from water.

Hello everyone,I'm very new to the world of real estate investment, I'm really in my "embryonic stage" I guess you could say since I don't own a property yet.With that said though, I'm trying to keep my eyes peeled for areas with low vacancy rates.
