I am not referring to trying to refrain from watching Disney DVDsI am talking about taking adopting a different mindset when it comes to investing.I am a relatively new investor but no longer a rookieI have been renting properties since 2011I currently have five tenants and my business is doing alright.Because I purchased during the bubble bust I ended up getting all cash purchases so I have never had to get a mortgageThis is great for my income and stability picture but bad for having experience borrowing money.Last year I lost a deal because of this inexperience.I want to try something new this coming year.  

This rent covered all expenses on the 15 year mortgage, insurance, and HOA fees with small profit that got eaten up on paper by LLC expenses, depreciation, PM and accounting fees, etc.  

Sellers want to be on the MLS that covers the area where their home is located, so they can offer a commission to LOCAL buyer agents.2.

The policy that Airbnb has only covers damages, not liability, so you definitely want to make sure you have robust liability insurance just in case something happens to someone on your property! 

Many people think normal renter's insurance covers this, but most agents leave off the flood rider in my experience.

I will need to pull a loan to mortgage the property and to cover the cost of the renovation work.

My strategy was always to put my best foot forward - get a solid deal lined up, make sure the numbers are legit, pull the equity out only when the payment will be covered by an investment and still have a happy marriage.  

Many new agents fail to make enough commission to cover their operating expenses and their living expenses.

Might be a way for you to get in with little money (maybe just cover the rehab) and then get a hard money loan for the rest.

And one listed the replacement cost as well so they do cover the value from the same three angles that residential appraisals do but they looked at it much closer.
