Some of your questions are very basic and it seems like you are just scraping the tip of the iceberg in regards to the mountain of info you are going to need.

Do you have any other tips when it comes to lowering insurance costs?

Letting them selectively have 1 weakness on paper is the generous part- and you need to be very selective with the weakness, at that.I'm not a fan of self management as I've experienced a lot of tenant drama over the years and I no longer invest time/energy into this- now I invest money into with management- but when you're a new investor, it's a truly great way to learn.

If anyone has tips or suggestions on how I can start building credit feel free to leave them.

Any advice or tips on how to get the loan with no experience?

Congrats that is awesome, I am looking to purchase a Short Term Rental property out of state, anyone have any tips.

I narrowed down here in the Atlanta area to GaREIA, they have the most experienced and generous investors to learn from. 

Any tips or suggestions welcome, thank you!!
