Hey Thomas - I'd highly recommend speaking with your CPA and an Investment Sales broker about your options when it comes buying an STNL deal to utilize depreciation.

For your trip next week I would try to meet with a few well recommended and qualified real estate agents to get their estimates on the homes current as is value.

In a better market you might be able to use those things to get a better deal on commercial insurance but in the current market there won't be flexibility.On personal policies/1-4 unit rental dwelling policies there won't be any flexibility whatsoever unless it's something the company already has built into their guidelines/pricing.

Any recommendations on finding cash buyers for a wholesale deal?

I highly recommend joining their mastermind too and doing the ongoing education.

If you know of any service providers who can write and prepare these letters, possibly on the mainland, and then ship them to me for a final local dispatch, I would greatly appreciate your recommendations.

To get personalized advice, it's recommended to seek guidance from a financial advisor or real estate professional.Good luck!

Yea land alone is tough, max 50 LTV on land, would recommend finding a partner to go in on it with you.
