Let's call it $550k purchase price.Rent = $3,100/monthMortgage: Given that I have $200k set aside, let's assume I put 35% down ($192.5k).

I'd see if you got a warranty. in all of our new builds we actually have the deal underwritten by an external builders risk policy by an insurance company as a smaller builder it hedges our risk and helps the customers be very happy. it's typically 0.5% of the purchase price.

I would like to offer without an agent on some deals I have found on my own both on Realtor.com and off market facebook groups 1) am I insane to try purchasing my first property without an agent?

So iam planning to buy a foreclosure property  from auction.com, Can we purchase title insurance on these properties through title  company after buying?

@Matthew Gentile  one main factor to remember Income is critical in this business to obtain financing of any magnitude and a stable well paying W 2 allows you to obtain debt for your RE purchases plus if you have health bene's etc that's critical as your family grows.

Purchase price: $185,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Purchased as a primary SFH with low interest rate.

With $70k-$100K down I believe I could purchase them.

Purchase price: $710,000 Cash invested: $158,000 We purchased this newly renovated 3 BR, 2 BA home a short walk from the beautiful beach on Emerald Isle.

This is a new purchase and all the units are occupied. 

I live in Southern California and want to purchase my first property out of state since the market here is so high (over my budget).
