If you're just looking for generic info I can get you in touch with them.

You can get a generic proof at first for initial vetting, but you'll want a custom one generated by the insurance company with your name on it right around the time you are ready to sign a contract with them to prove that their insurance is still current at the start of the rehab.Some contractors let their insurance policies lapse during the off season or do other things to save money since paying their policy premium can get expensive.

We are both now feeling pressure to supplement our incomes and we are choosing the real estate route.

Or are you looking for a nice place in a great area and just want to supplement your income?

I know a rare few people who make a living doing it . . . though it can provide some nice supplemental income.I believe that a well equipt real estate investor is one that has a multitude of tools in their tool-belt.

The address can be specific or generic, and this address becomes a "base" address.

I am new to investing and would like to use REI as a tool in the future to help supplement my income.

@Rich Hupper You should looking for a principal; the person in charge who you can do business with and sign your contract.That would be (generically) the personal representative, known as executor if named in a will (to execute the wishes of the decedent) or administrator, if not.

Tenants have options I do not.It sounds like you are supplementing their rent already so why not fill the oil tank at your expense to protect your property then give them the boot as soon as your costs over power your emotions.

I'm hoping that someday these will help supplement an early retirement :wink:.
