IMO, that's not something to ignore if you are in FL.A lot of these threads on the legality of wholesaling continue to have a lot of people harping on what they want to be true and believe to be true without any investigation into codes and law that say otherwise.  

Are you going to continue to grow your portolio in the Baltimore area?

Spring has continued to appreciate nicely.  

Also, I would plan to live in one side and continue to rent the other side.

@Alicia Falls I'd love to talk to you about the property and give you my thoughts.

Sure, risking $100 on someone's word is one thing, but when we’re talking about the kind of money that buys a nice car?

(option to go to 24, but I want the initial project to begin locally.)Location- OhioMarket type- Local, within 8 miles to meBuilds- Identical 2700sf, 4 bed, 3 bath , placing the same structure that meets the tenants criteria in 9 locations.Debt: Seeking a refinancing option  based on a 9% cap rateThe difference ( 450,000 x 9= 4,050,000    vs    NOI of $384,261 / 9% = 4,269,576 or $474k/property + tenant)with our continued rates of appreciation and a standardized tenant/lease structure in place, this should be a win for everyone.Who has a solution?

I 100% agree with you, we do have a guarantee that return any owners who want to continue to build their portfolio.

I did a credit check, criminal background check, got pay stubs, required income 3x rent, and got employer confirmation and prior landlord reference (but I never got in touch with the prior landlord successfully)In my experience:- Always talk to landlords, especially former landlords.

Who should I be talking with regarding insurance?
