Hellow Everyone!I recently partnered with my father and formed an LLC to keep things straight from a Legal standpoint. I have been in contact with a Real Estate Agent in the city of Philadelphia about what I am trying...

I recently acquire my Real Estate license which is active and I also have experience in Sales, Marketing and Insurance.I just wanted to introduce myself and I am glad that I managed to run into BP!

The majority of REI's in Texas that want to access their equity will just us a cash-out refinance.

I remember Robert Leonard saying that he uses that method to access the equity for additional funds to renovate a property.Jeff V

Hello,Does anyone have experience in obtaining property insurance on a property where you have acquired the non-performing loan? 

I don't mind paying for their time, but it would be preferred to pay them after the work is done and the property is purchased".It's likely that someone here will tell you that a GOOD contractor is too busy to mess with your, "I'll pay you later IF I get the house" gift.Do you currently have easy access to the inside of the property?

We are extremely conservative so we are targeting bread and butter three bed two bath 1,400- 2,000 sq ft houses or multi family that can be flipped to a house hacker or first time home owner.How We are using several methods to unearth deals.Scouring the MLS - searching based on criteria and then sale price compared toWebsites and digital advertising (Facebook and AdWords)Direct mail - Acquired lists from List Source (not happy with them) and have been sending postcards to older owners that own SF that meet our criteria.

Unfortunately the only access is through the back of the house since it's a row home so no cars could get back there. 

As a landlord your criteria is the HUD criteria which basically does not include any training requirement.So the restaurant can deny access to an emotional support animal (an animal that in no way has been trained to help a disabled person)but a landlord is not allowed to deny the access to the support animal.What I am seeing is that people can pay some money to get an animal classified as a support animal even if the person has no need for a support animal. 

(An experienced real estate investor will always acquire and /or flip properties with little to no money down).
