I would ask an insurance agent and even they may scratch their heads!) 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I am looking to expand my network of investors and real estate agents in the Charlotte area. 

A good custodian will be there to support you and provide education every step of the way; you may find you don't even really have the need for checkbook control (also a good option to ensure you're being extra careful following prohibited transaction rules).

I’m looking to partner with a like-minded local home builder to share in the journey of providing our area with affordable, hyper efficient, storm-proof housing.

Casting a large net by utilizing wholesalers, MLS, direct relationships with agents to get deals BEFORE they hit the MLS, driving for dollars/door knocking, direct mail, etc. are all great avenues if done correctly.Knowing how to calculate the ARV and rehab costs is also essential to identifying a good deal and that goes with any area.

This has caused at least 3 major problems: 1) the market is now oversaturated with Airbnbs, 2) rental rates have come down bc of so much competition, 3) there's a dire shortage of workers available to service the huge increase in the # of Airbnbs.Wait times are often a month or longer for service providers.

I got a quote from our insurance agent and Foremost Insurance will allow the policy owner to be the policy owner but the rates are double what we are currently paying.The question is this - to prevent the "piercing of the veil" of the LLC, does the insurance also have to be out of my personal name and in the LLC's?

Hey, as an agent in Rochester, I’d say that it is doable with that price point.
