I was talking to an acquaintance the other day and they informed me about a strategy where one can essentially partner with insurance companies for when an insurance client's home is destroyed through natural disaster or other causes and the client can be put up temporarily in the rental instead of being put up in a hotel  by the insurance company for the time being.

My advice to clients is to not let taxes control their life decisions. 

The market here is quite unique compared to the rest of the nation, and even to the rest of California for that matter. 

Yes, there are investor-oriented real estate brokerages that assist clients with the pre-acquisition analysis and support services you seek.If Metro Atlanta is one of your target markets, I'd be happy to refer you to the same brokerage I refer my own international clients to.

I've had 3-4 real clients out of the past 4-5 months I've used them.

I have had exactly one client accurately tell me their FICO score.

When first starting out do not do anything unique or different than what is average.

The full commission is paid either way.Not to mention that if you deal directly with the seller's agent, you're negotiating with someone who is bound by law and by ethics to get the best possible deal for his client - the SELLER.

We uses Several Carriers for the Builders Risk policies and depending on the project, decide which is the best for the client. 

I find most of my clients from out of state are shocked when they get here and find out a 2,000 square foot house is 1,000 on the main and 1,000 in the basement.
