As you mentioned needing to increase your auto GL limit to $500K, I'm assuming that the umbrella you purchased is overlaying everything you have - house, cars, rentals? 

This one in particular was merely an auto insurance backlink, but I get them from the adult industry and a variety of others as well.

Hi  there,You may want to do some phone interviews, ask to be set up on (auto property emails) if that is a service provided by Realtors where you are, so you can get them (properties) in your inbox and see what is out there........ and what realtor has the right mix if information and experience you will need.When you are ready to buy, you will have the one who can stand the test of time, as time will be what you will spend a lot of when you are just starting out.

I can open an auto repair shop but I can't rent my house for the weekend. 

I own an auto repair shop, and I would think that if I wanted to host a meeting or training for my employees that I could host it at my home and have my business pay me for the use of my home and food. 

Tenants can pay online via EFT, auto pay or credit card2.

I heard it through the Grapevine:)100 miles due north, and easy drive.wikipediaGrapevine is an unincorporated community in Kern County, California, at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley.[1] The village consists mainly of roadside services.thanks,Matt

Last comment then I have to go sign a bunch of deeds for deals I am selling :)the way I look at it is folks get 100 t0 200 a month.. why save that. it would take 10 years of saving that money to save up for another down payment.. if your going to do this you need to have money for downpayments coming from other sources than cash flow.. and I know me.. 100 to 200 a month would just get frittered away like I never got it.. so why not figure out what your cash flow is going to be set up auto pay at that higher number and let your tenants accerlate your pay down.  

Oct (week 4) - To make a long story shorter, I ended up making an offer on a 3 bed/2 bath on Scottsdale Ave near Parkway Village with the company Turnkey Properties (@alex craig) http://turnkeyinvestproperties.com/I really appreciated their website and the information it provided such as the Sales Offering Packet which contained a lot of information including a detailed Scope of Work that they would perform on the property. 

I already help with general maintenance of the property, including home/auto/small engine stuff.
