Since you are just starting out at a young age (which is great), I would recommend a house-hack.

Hi All,any advise from your experience on individuals breaking into an investment property? i recently closed into a property which I bought from another investor who got it through a tax deed sale. The original owner...

Can the account be a personal checking account instead of business because we have the property in our own names? 

Working privately is more personal thanusing hard money or banks.

Charles,I was researching a property today and found that another property owned by the same person that owns the house I'm trying to buy is being pursued by the county tax office, while the cheaper house (mine :lol: , I hope) is not.

I read over a sample personal umbrella insurance policy and it says that they dont cover injury due to business property, and that business property is defined as residential property rented, or held for rental, to others.

A lot of the time it depends on the actual credit score, the age of your credit, or the inquiries/events shown on your credit report. 

It's a plus if they offer any good bundling options for an umbrella policy for 2-3 homes, as we're looking to get one for the first time.I know some insurers have been leaving the CA market recently so looking for updated recommendations based on your personal experiences.Thanks!

It sounds like you want to let the person live there for as long as they are alive and then the house converts to you.

There are companies who will offer lead gen services at a far more efficiency than a single person.
