Good afternoon fellow BP members. Can anyone please recommend a trusted and reasonable insurance company for a duplex in Detroit? Thanks. Any contact info would be welcomed.Thank you, Brandon

This is new and I would like to hit the ground running so all advice will be well appreciated.Best- My favorite type of real estate agent.

We put every material cost on that card and after our big project was done we celebrated with 4 round trip tickets to Orlando and 4 round trip tickets to Las Vegas all on points!

That’s the idea now anyway.I am planning to take a trip to Huntsville and Birmingham the last week of August (week of 8/26) to get first hand feel of the area and to meet with local PMs, realtors, wholesalers, contractors, and anyone I can absorb info from for future deals.

I want to take trips with my family to go and serve those in need, whether it’s overseas, or across town.  

Escrow was a little  messy with my being in Hong Kong and doing my first FSBO but I disclosed everything to the seller and let her take possession a month before escrow closed.https://www.redfin.com/CA/Twentynine-Palms/69933-Cielito-Dr-92277/home/160529000(note that those listing pictures are the same ones I took before my co-host charged me for a "deep-cleaning" - eye roll )THE NUMBERSI sold it for $134kTotal invested was $100,013 + ~$7000 (the only number I don't have in front of me) in closing costs, buyer credit, etc for a profit of $27,000 or 27% return on investment.This also doesn't include hotel costs for the early days when the cabin was uninhabitable, the substantial gas and auto wear to travel out there, or all the nights I had to bribe my husband with a trip to Palm Springs.

My favorite source for a beginner is Every Landlord's Legal Guide by NOLO.

After "Location, Location, Location" and "They ain't makin' any more of it" my favorite real estate quote is "You can fix your house but you can't fix your neighbors". 

Do I take the trip out there or Call a local inspector?
