@Travis Washington I dont know the rental comps there but if you do choose to add the fence, you can target different markets such as pet owners who would be willing to pay extra for the fence for their dogs plus you can charge a pet fee.

But more importantly, these programs offer coverage during the 3 different possible occupancy periods without needing to change policies.If you do not go with one of these programs, you typically will have one of the 3 policies to choose from;Vacant - No occupancy and no renovations allowedBuilders Risk - Property undergoing renovationsOccupied - Either by a homeowner (homeowners policy) or tenant (landlord policy).I'll send you the companies my clients use for flipping.

For anyone who has gone through finding the right hard money lender do you have any advice on how to choose one? 

I'm thinking I need to find someone to partner with who has some experience to help protect against losing somebody's investment money.For my first deal, I'm looking in the South-East and for approximately a 6-12 unit apartment to start building my reputation and track record. 

The thermostat you choose will depend on a few things.

Why are you choosing this area to invest?

Remember, you pay for the appraisal but the lender is the one who chooses the company they work with.

But, naturally, you would try to mitigate these risks with different strategies which is exactly what you would do in the stock market.Consider both a “piece” of your financial plan if you do choose to include both.

Find a good property manager in the market of your choosing.

Similarly, reading the sign and choosing to have your conversation in an area that’s being recorded could be skewed as consent?
