Building relationships with experienced wholesalers can also open doors to joint ventures and off-market deals, giving you a head start in the industry.

Begin your 'pre qualification' process for the acquisition now (most commercial lenders won't issue a PreQual but rather a LOI) In general, Commercial transactions can take longer due to extended due diligence, appraisal, environmental reports and financing (60+ days) so you'll want to initiate your search during the marketing of the down leg as it can cause a tighter timeline than a residential transaction. 

ESS has an integrated website so people can rent online. 

Also I saw online something about umbrella insurance?

I think because the majority of people who refinanced during COVID are holding up, we don't see much inventory in the market.

I bought it at the peak of the market. 

Home equity is 6-7% depending on length 5yrs vs 15yrs a 30 yr mortgage is 6%...Ideally rental stays rented out bringing in 1/2 of mortgage payment on new house based on numbers and is already cash flow positive bring in $1200/month (worth about 180k)and new property is going for 240k going rental price is about $2,000/month but I owe 18k still on private mortgage- reason I want to pay it off (4% flat 720 interest from cc for 1 year) to have it 100% paid off, then use home equity to pay off....or try to balance transfer balance after 1 yr which ever is lower but I figured that would mess with debt to income ratio and with this property being brand new, which is hard to find being located outside of closest major city...goal is to keep house rented out till it's paid off while also being cash flow positive with both properties combined and using paid off/ nearly paid off 1 to pay for 2nd rental, so I'd say lowest debt while also building wealth/equity not worried about a monthly/yearly profit per say as long as someone else is paying down the mortgage ie: my current property is bringing in $1200/month but current market value says it should bring in atleast $1500-$1600 but the tenant is phenomenal so she's paid same rent since 2017 I've put about 36k into between mortgage payments for 2 years and some up keep...she's put in the other 130k!!

I have been searching online for a real estate investors networking group in Vermont but it doesn't seem like there is much so I would like to start one.Even if it is just a couple people to start I think having a network of like-minded people is crucial to success. 

We have a few lenders that will go 90% LTC on flips and 80% LTV on rental properties in the OH market.

Are these good markets for fix and flip transactions within my budget nowadays?
