How will you handle vacancy, what about insurance on the "new" property after reno? 

My estimation is buying as is, I’ll have a net cash flow of about $500 with mortgage, insurance, taxes and water utility.

Drive Dryad, Nebling, and surrounding streets before pulling the trigger, and see what flood insurance will cost.

Hello BP Team, I am about to close on my first property to flip and was wondering what all insurance I should purchase?

Keep up 300,000 liability insurance on rentals, and no LLC is necessary.

Purchase price: $150,000.00Closing cost: $ 3000.00Down payment : 10%Loan Interest rate: 4.8%Gross monthly rent : $1250.00P&I : $ 540PMI : $ 45Monthly insurance : $ 45Property taxes : $105Vacancy : $62.50Repairs : $62.50CapEx: $62.50Management : $ 125Total expense: $1047.50Rent : $ 1250 to $ 1300Cash flow : $ 202.50 to $ 252.50COS : 13.56 %Purchase car rate: 5.95 %This will be my first deal.

Also, the funding fee is actually more expensive than mortgage insurance unless you plan to stay long-term.  

In Florida (not sure about where you're investing), the property has to be insured in which the property is titled to.
