It occurred to me today that I've never asked about umbrella insurance claims.I’m particularly interested in real-world examples where this type of policy came through during:Property damage (fires, storms, floods, etc.)Liability claims involving tenants or third partiesMajor unforeseen eventsIf you’ve ever had to file a claim and your umbrella policy saved your bacon, I’d love to hear:What happened?

You can't be competitive today buying on current yield alone.  

I pull pretty solid lists, I find a lot of my deals off market, just thought I could reach more if I have a few full time callers on the phones.While i'm at it, how are you guys finding good deals in today's world?

I was advised today by a retired real estate professional, who is licensed, that if you offer an application to someone for a loan, you must be licenesed by the DRE.

Investing close to home allows you to gain hands-on experience, learn the ropes, and be more involved in the day-to-day.

Putting it all together: If I were starting over and looking for a house-hack in Denver, CO today, I'd be looking for a 4 bed / 3 bath property in the $500K - $600K range in an up and coming area (like Aurora near the medical campus).

today probably around 1 mil.

We'll bounce back fast, and we need people like you.

SEC will help only much later and only to try and seek jail or financial remedies.You're trying to save the property today?

Not today.
