It appears there may be a built in bias in the spread between acquisition and sales price by appraisers and underwriters.

Have narrowed that down to NY, AZ, and MD right now.

I wouldn't shy away from a second lien position if there is enough spread to cover my position even if the property goes down 20% in value.  

Instruct the cleaner to close the room off and do not take anything out of the room to prevent the spread of bugs to other areas. 

I returned a few days later to find that he had spread gravel across the front yard and under the front porch!

Duplexes, triplexes, or small apartment buildings allow you to generate more rental income while spreading the risk across multiple units.

Thanks for sharing Greg, it's also spread out to other insurance.

I have a total of 3 properties spread out across the country (looking for a new 4th) and they are all. managed.

Your loan will be capped anywhere from 65% ARV to 75% ARV and that will depend on lender, credit, experience, deal spread, risk.In that deal cap you have guidelines like borrower can get 80% LTV is their experience is X and credit is Y, and they can get 90% LTV if their credit is A and exp is B. 

Then from there just narrow down the ones that don't look like they'd work?
