Some will tell you "On Title, or no experience", thankfully, there are some lenders who WILL consider GC experience if we can validate with permits pulled on similar addresses/projects - this would be part of the underwriting process.

Also, told me money is not an issue but in the same breath asked if they could give less than 3 month's rent to move in (I had already explained the requirements). 

I have done a lot of research on this issue and the bottom line is yes, you can require that your tenants have renters insurance.

If during the next 2.5 years, the owner redeems the property i get the money + interest back, but lets say they do not redeem the property. 3)  Within the last 6 -3 months of the expiration of the redemption period, I will file a petition at the circuit court for the tax deed 4)  At the same time, after filing the petition for deed, I will need to send "Notice of Expiration of period of Redemption" Take Notice to the county so they can mail it to the home owners and any interested parties informing them to redeem asap. 5) I will subtax early the following taxes as soon as they are generated by the county. 6) Inform the property owner in three ways, certified mail from the Circuit Court Clerk, being personally served by, the Sheriff’s office; and notice being published in a local newspaper. 7)If the taxes are not paid and the last date to redeem passes, the tax buyer can apply to the Circuit Court for an Order directing the County Clerk’s office to issue a tax deed to the tax buyer.
