To get started in real estate investing, it's important to keep learning about market trends, financing options, property management techniques, and laws that apply.

I would say that a 1.20x DSCR ratio minimum for BRRRR is a bit high - plenty of options out there that wouldn't require such a hurdle

It's a plus if they offer any good bundling options for an umbrella policy for 2-3 homes, as we're looking to get one for the first time.I know some insurers have been leaving the CA market recently so looking for updated recommendations based on your personal experiences.Thanks!

Want to keep options open.

I am exploring options between Richmond, Muncie and Anderson now and would love to connect

@Layton Wyatt there are several software options that are free for landlords, but be forewarned, they make their money by charging your tenants.We know one that charges tenants $3.95 to pay online! 

Or have another option to deaden the noise? 

Out of state investing could be a great option when living in marketplaces like you are in (OC).

Insurance costs are also a bit different, but at the end of the day, the home was a better option.

But given my goals I started thinking maybe my city may not be the best option for the type of properties I am targeting.
