Consider sending in a 9 X 12 envelope as they can't miss it.Unless you're mailing many hundreds, this can be very effective as it adds value to your service, beginning with "heads up" this us what your house looks like now.

I am closing on a multi next week and I want to exercise the insurance market on pricing for insurance.

A single member LLC has no effect at all on taxes, unless you elect special tax treatment.

He also has reduced the time I spend looking for houses by about 80%. without refucing our effectiveness or effeciency significantly. 

The right kind of development will have a positive effect on values.  

So that is a very good catch.I thought it was more of an exercise in explaining the value of hard money and didn't even think of asking her about her experience.Bottom line though is that I started using hard money after my first deal.

Overall this type of situation would make me nervous and I would not be excited about this rental group.Then again I don't know your market and that always effects things a lot, but in my situation I would rather wait until I found a renter I had less doubts about.

For investors who are employed full time in addition to investing: When New Yorkers, Californians, Bostonians, (insert other expensive metros here) do deals in low cost markets, we get a tremendous feedback effect from high dollar amount we are easily able to put into the low cost market.

Include when the option will be exercised, usually prior to construction, and what terms must be met for the option to trigger the sale.

Paying fees to refinance just so you can turn around and sell the house will hardly ever be cost effective.
