Like to learn about your investment services for some of my clients. 2.

@Alisha SolacheIf you can find an investor who is looking for an assistant, you can offer your services, if you have any research/office skills.

I think they offer a very specific service, just know what you are getting into beforehand.https://www.bbb.org/us/il/barrington/profile/finan...

if he takes care of all that it may be worth it, figure out what your costs would be to hire outside services and see if it saves you money, is the place that big that you need an onsite manager or will it cost you less to hire a PM company ?

. $1200 for 3 month term                $160K Property Value (incl. improvements), $300K LimitQuote 2 - Builders Renovation Policy from Lloyd's of London. $917 for 3 month term                $80K - Property, $300K Liability, $1K deductibleBoth seem very high and I can't even use quote 2 because I am not using a licensed GC.

I worked directly with my accounts few years ago, and nothing easy was there for REI.... hope they improved!

Anna,When repairs or improvements are made to rental property which is not actually rented or advertised for rent, the improvements are capitalized over the appropriate life of the assets.  

I truly envy your skills in construction - they will be invaluable in REI.Do you have any tips on learning basic home improvement / handy-person skills? 

Buyers consistently received bad service from selling agent such as late communication, late delivery of required documents such as lease agreements required for loan/bank (2 weeks late for 2 of the 3 lease agreements with no tenant/owner signature and haven't received 3rd lease agreement) as well as selling agent did not give notification to 2 of the 3 tenants for loan appraisal so appraiser had to come twice to property, all to which has delayed buyer's loan.

Fully leveraged is fine, but make sure that the property you're buying cashflow well enough to cover the servicing of all your debts.
