If they don't want to budget for contingencies like that, then it's a disaster waiting to happen for all parties involved.

So as long as the demand is there and the boundary is never expanded (which is very unlikely), then the supply is so low that real estate there should essentially ALWAYS be in demand.

All they want is the insurance money and then they will go away- most likely??? 

Then use the 20-30% downpayment I had on a duplex / quad that cash flowed well.

The loan officer says the refinanced amount would be 75% of the purchase price and not the new appraised value after rehab.In this case, is it a bad idea to transfer ownership of the duplex into my family member's name and then purchase the duplex back but this time financed? 

If you live in warmer places this probably isn’tAn issue as much but I’m done with the variable factor of tenants putting the heat on 80 degrees and then leaving windows open when it’s -25 out.

Are you wanting to do some rehab and bring the value and rents up and then rent it out? 

Get the lock that also has a hole for a physical key  and then have a good ole fashion lockbox with the key in it as a back up Example of yale with key Dont get one like this without a keyGOOD LUCK!

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Then, once I have that information/proposal/etc. prepared, how should I approach investors?
