Hello All,I have been renting property for several years now, and fortunately for me, I haven't escaped some of the nightmare tenants some have experienced on this site.However, I wanted to query every bodies knowledge on how they perform Background Check / Credit Checks.

My wife picks up cheap decorator items at The Christmas Tree Shop for nick-nacks.

The body largely stays the same.

This may limit the options of insurers available to you so shop around.

Hi Kyle that is a great contact I find it hard in commercial real estate of any body doing big loans.I have a great property in down town Jacksonville worth 70 million I am trying to get 50 million dollar loan or partnership on over 600 unit of apartments.

I shop all of my insurance.

They do review the loan but we make payment a lot larger than the minimum payment (interest only) so it should not be an issue.We found that every bank or credit union has their own HELOC product so it helps to shop around.Good Luck!

The house has 3 units and I need to find homeowners insurance, I am been shopping around and the quotes are very expensive ($280 - $350 a month).

At this point I've built a relationship with a mortgage banker to get preapproved but haven't really shopped around yet so have a lot to learn in that realm as well. 

So for now I'm probably going have to shop outside my area to find more affordable properties, though I'm also very interested in the idea of partnering with others in my area.I'm on a mission to fact-find and network with other investors in this area and learn as much as I can, and eventually, share what I've learned with other rookies.
