I figured with our combined experience of being RE Agents, working for a major new home Builder for several years, and extensive lending knowledge, we have every tool we need.My wife and I are currently with Keller Williams Realty.

My good friend is a builder and let me in on a deal that he knew of.

Short term, 3-6 mo.s Builders Risk policy while you repair.Bob Pepe of Pelican Insurance in Fort Lauderdale is who I and some other rehabbers use.

I go back outside and ask the neighbors about has anyone seen a raccoon, and it turns out its one of the neighbors pets that runs around the neighborhood.I'll bet the hair on the back of my neck stood up for 30 minutes after I flicked that lighter and saw those huge glowing eyes about 6 feet from me with no body behind them.

So the body wasn't actually the exact same.- They all had 3-6 pictures, some the same some not.- They all had different titles.- While being sent from the same IP address they were all sent to different emails.- The body of each was an exact copy of an ad that went though fine on the same Criaglist site before, but was at least 3 days old.

@Christopher Moran Having attended a Fortune Builders Seminar (They try to sell a $25k Mastery program), I've looked into a lot of the threads here talking about Guru's.

We can make it work because my partner is the builder and is willing to build the units for basically no margin.

In addition to the additional renters in the market that Jon mentioned, there were no new rental units being built because the builders couldn't get funding.

@Brian Mathews working direct with homeowners your policy is the norm I am sure throughout the industry.When your working for a developer builder on a new construction do they not pay once a month?
