We are only putting 5% down with conventional.And what are some ways we can continue to build our portfolio in RE?

Hopefully that appreciation continues.

Husband has been working for over 10 years at the same company.

I am an investor, licensed agent and own a property management company.

There's a reason Fortune 500 companies never stop marketing to consumers!

I would just hire a quality general contractor, for example we have weekly updates via company cam photo and video documentation.

I am having a hard time finding insurance companies that insure properties owned under an LLC. 

Part of the issue I am experience is a DSCR company I spoke to will only give what I acquired the property for plus the rehab cast.

Things continued at a snail pace with the rehab and I continued to remind and plead ABC to pay us the rent guarantees.ABC Baltimore promised to continue paying us rent even after the Rent Guarantee expired on Dec 17 2018 because the house was not ready after more than 16 months.

To get top dollar for a renovated property you're going to have to clear the title as it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to find a title company that will write a policy for title insurance on a property coming from a tax sale.
