My business partner and I are closing on a condo in the next couple of weeks that needs a major rehab. 

I had visited their parents house when signing the lease (younger couple) in an A+ neighborhood and very clean. 

> I've been renting out his house for a number of years, to help pay his assisted-living costs;y'all have helped me with that on a couple of occasions! 

I found out during a hurricane a couple years ago that the deductible goes up to a percentage of the home’s value during a named storm, so my gut says I should contact the insurance company.

Should I show them just what the Zillow estimates are for a couple of properties?

If you only have one or a couple homes there's no reason you cant fix it .Believe it or not I finally parked my service truck 2yrs ago.

For example, my wife and I knew a couple who were eager to get into flipping didn't buy smart. 

I have talked to a couple in my area and I'm having trouble finding an attorney that has working knowledge and experience with investors.

With this in mind, you want to try and avoid jumping brokerages too often, so doing your research/interviews initially is important.3) I could be wrong on this end, but I believe builders do want agents that have at least a couple years of experience.

It only takes a couple minutes, we promise."
