If I am starting out as a real estate investor interested in being a rental landlord (still working out the main type of rental I want to work with), can I refinance the house with a higher rate and make it a rental to my husband as my first rental?  

The definition of a broker can be found in Wis.

I am concerned about theft during and after renovation so a policy that can cover that would be of utmost importance. 

You can even have both meet and play nice in the sandbox.

There are so many short term places today that competition is tough, so adding something no other property has, being creative in design, something like that to stand out, people want a unique stay, and with a fixer-upper, you can do whatever you want!

For example, are you looking for something that you can add some sweat equity, and break even at the refinance?

if you do not find one, let me know I can send you an attorney we use to create them. probably not going to be the most cost effective, but will get it done. 

You can hear real-world examples of how others have built their investment portfolio and (hopefully) learn to avoid their mistakes.4.

If there's anything I can do, please let me know!

Equity investments can suffer a 100% loss—the FDIC doesn’t want to pay this claim.2.
