@James Wyant great & my auto correct made 'evaluation' into 'evacuation'Auto correct is the bane of my existence LOL

I'm in the process of getting an HO6 insurance for my rental property.

Don't  forget insurance.  

However, my rental cash flow pays for my primary residence (mortgage, taxes and insurance) and an extra $300/month.

Hey BP, I’m a newbie in the auto industry by day and an investor by night in the Prattville and Montgomery AL area.....and another newbie question, how do you post a pic to your profile

In our mind this will likely not be recoverable from the builder or association but hopefully a shared cost between both home owners insurance.

I have 2 choices: 1) Pony up the $3,000 out of MY pocket to get the job done (I don't need to bring this money to closing, but I do need to demonstrate to the HML lender that I have the funds to make it happen), or 2) Simply adjust my budget down by $3k.Let's say that the lender charges the following:3% origination fee ($65K *.03) = $1,950Appraisal Fee - $500 Pro-rated Interest (one month) - $380 Title Search / Title Insurance - $175 Pro-rated Property Ins. - $100 Pro-Rated Taxes - $400 Settlement Fees - $400 Recording Fees - $100 Wholesale fees (if applicable) - $500 Since "No Money Down" is not an option, I'll will need to pay these fees up-front in order to get my $65,000.

I still don't understand why someone would pay retail for a trustee auction property with no title insurance or inspection.

But the rental property cost of insurance is twice the amount to put the property into an LLC vs putting the property into my name. 

Plus, banks/title/insurance people start noticing and you find top performers there too and it just trickles through the entire buying process.
