@Richard PraterFirst-- call your insurance and ask what breed restrictions they have.   

I credit that to having a clear and outlined checklist for the tenant to follow during move out to insure they get their full deposit back. 

and all i have to do is promise to pay it back.. and get a insurance bond out of Thailand.

The BRRR I'm working on now my end up being a flip, based solely on the fact that this particular property requires flood insurance.

I've been a licensed real estate agent for over a year now, am a novice house hacker and do insurance by day (which pays the bills but lack the passion for).  

The reason is I know which lenders:do a good jobstay on top of the necessary tasksknow how to be creative within the rules (some people don't fit into the standard mold of a buyer, and some lenders don't know how to get them approved, and some lenders know how to get them approved)and which lenders can actually close deals.Another reason is, as someone like you who wants to house hack, not all lenders are experienced in it.

They also do dove tail drawers and soft close drawers/cabinet doors which are pretty much standards for cabinets now days.

This is part of what he/she (no name on emails) stated on the reply to my offer “ Also we can't give title insurance for 2 years because the tax foreclosure just passed when it was bought.

Anyone know an average cost to insure a 1-3 family project in Brooklyn and Queens?

I myself am not. and most flippers are not GC's  so all of us non GC's need the developers license.. now there is no test just pay the fee. you must have proof of insurance and a 50k bond.. the bond and insurance for those that have little to no money or bad credit can be a stumbling block.
