I have a new builder now, but because the roof is already on and it is 80-90% complete, I can't find anyone who will write a builder's risk policy for it.

You should still buy an owner occupant in your local market always though to use the low money down loans and interest write offs.

Are you creating a partnership, is it a loan, etc   If you don't have an agreement you should sit down and discuss it and put it in writing. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

In fact, some insurance companies now refuse to write new policies in these regions.

This also allows for property owners to more easily write-off assets that get damaged/destroyed as the value of these assets is determined as part of the study.

That 40k class would not teach you to put nail to the drywall.In my actual job i am so very busy writing code for DATA CENTER like Amazon or Google data center, so I do NOT have time nor knowledge to put a nail in the drywall, but i have TRUSTED friend that can put the nail in the drywall.There are just so many RESOURCES here in BIGGERPOCKETS where one do not need to go to any school but can learn from them or they can redirect to the right people.As for me , my life in real estate context has DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED when I CONVERTED my business relationship into much PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP to the contractor.In flipping business, the contractor, the subcon , is like the Prophet, okay, they have to be listened and being served.

@Josh Milewski Yeah, or ask the landlord to be up front with the tenant.....or something else - like have the landlord tell the renters that he was having an agent stop by to write up a BPO - which is different than having a prospective buyer come snooping around.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Ok, I’m sure I’ll get a lot of blowback for writing this but why is there a growing belief amongst the BiggerPockets community that wholesalers are the gatekeepers to good real estate deals and critical to your overall success?
