@Eric FormillerRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

That's how you win their hearts and make them see you as the ultimate investment partner.

I'm coming up on 2 years of income produced by the property, any suggestions on how to get a lower interest rate without using personal income?

Regarding homeowner's insurance, I would recommend just contacting a local insurance broker in your area and let them know you're looking to switch your HOI policy to a landlord policy.
