And their roof loss settlement is "variable by roof age", not actual replacement cost, nor depreciation adjusted (most insurances will hold the depreciation portion of a claim till the repair is done and only then release the funds).Make sure you compare apples to apples when shopping around, pay attention to what they give you for "free", what deductibles apply and when exactly you can get coverage from the insurance and to what limits.

Hello everyone,I'm a beginning real estate investor looking to enter the Indiana market with a buy-and-hold rental property strategy.

I try to hold as much as possible 

Imagine if we were stressed, having zero idea when or if our kids can have a roof over their heads.

Buy or inherit and hold for a long time, then cash out and redeploy equity into potentially higher cash flowing properties or other investments.2.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in nampa idaho Purchase price: $100,000 Cash invested: $100,000this is my second buy and hold.

It almost seems like it would be a better idea to do the $200k and take out a HELOC for the rehab.Thank you!

I would've liked to hold onto it for the cash flow and to use the equity to purchase other properties but my wife and I sold it and got divorced shortly after.

So here is my Idea, maybe someone can tell me if it is a good one, or not.I have a MTG on my current home, we have approx 40k in equity.
