Our kids are adults so several years ago we went as separate corp's & it has worked here in NY SO FAR with $6500 (individual) deductibles ...but (& without getting political) we have been advised by our carrier that the full force of ACA is yet to hit our respective plan(s).

Flipper,Property Shark does not provide coverage in my area.I don't see a title company providing any free services since if the properties were bought at trustee sales, there would be no need for Title company services.I did call around to several title companies and they want to sell two individual reports; Judgments/Liens, and then a loan report.

Hello:To this point, I've always bought investment property as an individual.

Ideally, I'd like to invest in some lower maintenance projects, possibly with partners who are starting out and could use my expertise.Thanks for the great forum, I look forward to perusing it further.

Banks are also notorious for "shopping" your offer for the purpose of getting a better price.I have bought a lot of REOs and have found banks to generally be a lot harder to work with than individuals.

Individual stocks have too much risk for me.

I'm curious if the higher volume individuals have their own "maintenance man" on hand to adress repair issues.
