I’ve been in the real estate business for almost three years now and have completed five deals: one buy-and-hold long-term rental, one short-term rental, and three fix-and-flip projects, for which I helped raise capital.

I am quickly learning that many banks do not give HELOCs to rental properties.

For auction properties, I'm assuming once I purchase a property I can draft and record the deed of trust following recordation of the conveyance?

I would rather be part of the GP.Broker-Dealers don't touch deals as small as the ones done by most real estate investors at this level.

Now the property is free and clear no liens on it.  

Does anyone know of straight software instead of a monthly/ annual service with a fee for a commercial real estate firm with less than 150 tenants?

At the end of the day, these carriers are insuring based on risk profile and they are carefully reviewing real time data that tells them whether its a market they want exposure in and how to price that exposure. 

Your going to need to show proof of rent payments and/or short term rental income.If your buying a primary 2nd home and intending to use it as an investment property I would strongly refrain from that activity; especially if your posting about it in a public forum ;).Best of luck.

Hone your Excel skills by creating pro-formas to practice your 1% rule underwriting while never touring a single property 4.

Do you have a property you're looking to sell?
