You can always run an OPRA (free open permits search) on the property as well.

My partner and I are currently hold 2 properties in the Glendale area that have done quite well.

To avoid falling into analysis paralysis, we started touring homes, meeting realtors, and running numbers.

Currently have one rental and looking for my second property.

The fact that you were able to rent the property after a full gut renovation indicates a good return on your investment, and refinancing after the rehab was a smart move to recoup your cash and prepare for future deals.One key observation is the challenge of rehab budget overruns.

Last week I received a letter from my insurance company stating they were going to discontinue my policy due to the current condition of the property (missing siding) and due to the fact that I am not currently living there (which is not true).I contacted my insurance broker and due to the fact my current insurance company disclosed the cancellation, they could not find another company that would insure the property.I just filed a dispute with the state.

Regarding security with buying the property, I can't say I'm too worried about that.

Hey BP community, I have been under contract for a while on a piece of property out in GA.

I owe a mortgage bal of $126k on a property worth $375k and have about 8 years to pay it off; rate is 3.37%.

look at lots of properties before you offer.
