Seemed to install like an invisible fence I could do myself. http://www.warmquest.com/products-snow-melting.php My justification was that while the initial investment might be a $1000-1500 or so, it'd pay for itself since a plow and truck are several thousand and it could $25-50 for professional show removal on each snow storm.

So values in Detroit in some areas are climbing and I see some pretty neat infill.. but its not in the cash flow south of 8 mile areas and for SURE there will not be any kind of success on equity that those who chose to invest in Atl in the nicer areas in 2010 to 2012 enjoyed.. that I  can assure you.. there simply is to many homes to much product.

I'm not sure where you will find a line of credit product you can cross collaterlize on 3 properties.

Foremost has a product where you can have what they call a "functional modified replacement cost policy".

When you calculate the shipping during checkout, it will show you the options and one of them will be pickup at warehouse and it will say $0.00 Sometimes, the product I want is not available for pickup at the nearest warehouse and I will choose another product that is.Actually, I see you're in Dallas.

I would expect with a team of 8 that your production would be substantial.

I've been in the Title Insurance Industry for quite some time now as an Assistant Production Manager/Senior Title Examiner for a well-known Title Company.

You can also use a cement base product like Thoroseal.

I'm not looking for anything fancy, but I obviously want to avoid crap product.

@Frank M. it depends on what type of loan it is, and I'd ask about the seasoning before rehabbing since I always want to know my timelines proactively not reactively.If you're looking at conventional Fannie/Freddie loans then they have a 0 day seasoning "delayed finance" product available to get up to the purchase price out on a cash purchase.Other FF loans require 6 months seasoning, and individual lenders may have their own overlays that require more.Portfolio loans the bank has their own requirements that they get to decide and it can be immediately if they choose to.
