My background is in Human Resources and Payroll Accounting and my degree is in Business Management.Teaming up with a dear friend, I started REI training with mentorship, supplemental resources and technical support.

I have a background in human services but always had passion for real estate (fix and flip, rentals and etc).

FNMA SF (Single Family) will only lend to people, real humans, not entities like an LLC.

That is what was recommended to me by an insurance agent my realtor got me in touch with, but USAA (all my current insurance policies) has a policy that only allows extending liability coverage to vacant lots, vacant being explicitly defined as having no structures and no inhabitants.I'm working with that same agent now to look into options that would likely move some or all of my insurance policies over to a new company that's willing to work with me like a human being.
