I have had a State Farm homeowners policy but they won't renew because it's a rental and they don't offer RDI.Would love to find a broker who could help.  

Who has offered this?  

If it is not signed, it is not a binding commitment... it was an offer.  

@Michael Plaks Once again, illustrating that BP has got to start offering more reaction options beyond "vote!"  

A smaller home can offer a lower price point and the ability to renovate so that you can rent it out in as little as 6-12 months.If you buy as a primary you can put as little as 5% down since rates right now are still high 20% is not going to move the rate that much since PMI helps get a lower rate.

From what he has told me, he hasn't gotten any offers on it due to the neighborhood.

IE its a very bad idea to attempt rent by the room with close neighbors, or in a nicer HOA neighborhood where tenants are seen walking streets to the bus/mass transit.   

We love to buy the properties that others walk away from.

I got offered a gig in Nashville in 2017, almost took it, it was nowhere near as popular back then as it has been the last three years.

I get 0% promotional offers for 12 - 18 months consistently.
