This is the best way to start becoming a real estate investor in my opinion, I did the exact same thing by taking out that HELOC to buy a new one. 

Hi,I'm pretty new to the real estate space.

At the same time no matter how much excess insurance coverage you obtain, there will always be a policy exception for gross negligence and even negligence will likely be covered only under reservations of rights meaning the carrier can opt not to provide coverage. 

Side note: My husband and I are currently funemployed (we both have seasonal jobs) until October, so not sure if we could qualify for traditional re/financing options at this time.

Thank you.You are probably asking how to hack the system, but all the advice to hack a top ranking won't work over time unless you are a very strong operator already.

Im wondering, wouldnt a way as a non-US resident to invest in real estate in the US on the same terms as US residents be as a limited partner in a syndication?  

The swift execution highlighted the value of preparation and timing in profitable real estate investments.

Hey @Devin Bost, so if I need to ship something direct, I just ship it to my lake house and my neighbor will go and put it in the garage for me.I then let my cleaner know about whatever it is, usually toiletries and the like, so she can put them away.I am about 7 hours away from our rental so I do drive over 2-3 times a year to take a look, make small repairs and stock up stuff.

Fast forward to present time, I never got to complete the house and lost over $200K on the deal. 

Hello everyone,I am a newbie to the whole real estate investment world and am looking to move on my first property if possible.
