My advice as a real estate attorney, find a real estate attorney to draft a decent residential lease at a flat rate.

According to my insurance broker, many carriers are getting out of doing coverage on multifamily altogether, and with the carriers that remain, prices vary widely.

Hi BP Family,I want to ask what your favorite wall paint color and finish (flat, satin, etc.) are for your rentals.

I'm working with a private lender for rental properties in Cleveland and am offering them a flat 15% rate of return on invested capital.
