Congrats on this working out for you!

After five years you'll have earned $90,000 in rent income and gained $34,000 in appreciation.Buy four houses with $50,000 down on each.

I have had ITIN's work but it's my understanding it still only show's US things. 

@Kaden Flores How much work are you prepared to do?

But a lot of GCs can't even afford to do that, because they give their subs constant work. 

@Nova Dear I would look into Shelter like @Joseph Konney mentions - Shelter insurance has phenomenal service, definitely one of the better carriers I've worked with.

While I can definitely swing a hammer, I know there's a lot I don't know about this world and how to grow it into a successful business -  I'm really looking forward to being a part of the  group and putting in the work to build something significant in more ways than one!

There are some community incentives in the Merced area, but would depend on your situation whether that is something that could work. 

I insure my rentals with a commercial broker, Mark Roland with Four Square Insurance , that shops many carriers and tracks trends, etc.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
