I'm a Real estate investor new to the middle TN market and am looking to build a team of agents, lenders, contractors etc.

I'm excited to be a part of the BP Community finally.

When making offer based on ARV, is it good practice to have future cash refi lender get involved as early as possible (have their appraiser connected?)

hey @David O'SullivanWelcome to the BP family.

I'm excited to be a part of this community and would love to connect with others in the CT area.

In many places the assessment process is done with limited and incorrect information in part because they don't have the right to enter a property unless the property owner chooses to allow it.

I also require my tenants of any length (I only rent for 30+ days) to have their own renters insurance for their own belongings so I don't see any big issue with having your part-time tenants get renters insurance and then making sure that your own homeowners policy is aware that there are others living in your home but that they have separate renters insurance.

Welcome to the BP family.

See how fast you can each race to ~50k.

By the way, I build houses from the ground up, some to sell, some to rent.
