I'm having a hard time locating an insurer willing to underwrite a policy for a house my partner and I are set to close on in a few weeks.I've tried Liberty Mutual, Amica, Arbella, and a few other local sources.

Before seeking a second opinion it would probably be beneficial to you to break down your investment process into smaller steps and examine each step to see if it can be done legally without a brokers license.

@Chris Little It has been very beneficial for me.

Bandit signs (your city may be strict and take them down, put them up when city workers are not working and put them in front of a Church,Walmart or any other high traffic area because you will want full exposure) Craigslist ads (Be very consistent with these, 1-2 a week) Business cards (Very very beneficial if you give these to waiters or waitresses or people you know and give them a nice referral fee.

Through networking and mutual friends I met my current mentor who is a very successful investor in my area.

@Mindy Jensen, thanks for the information and will definitely not get business cards tonight...it might be beneficial for a little bit ahead.

Was wondering if you would be interested in talking to see if you and I could possibly for an alliance that could possibly be beneficial for both of us.As a former Realtor, I have knowledge of residential real estate sales and is familiar with southern Dallas County.

I'd have to agree with you that the Bay Area prices are really high, could be beneficial though, depending on how you look at it.

How could we make a deal that would be beneficial to the both of us?

So, bring your knowledge and I'll bring mine and we can create a lasting, beneficial relationship.
