Between furniture, updates, insurance, all those things that turn a home to a house, "the forgotten costs" seem to add up quickly.What are some hacks others have to make those forgotten costs not so expensive or strategies to spread those costs overtime.

@Keresha WoolcockWelcome to the industry!

If one was to GC a new construction or a flip project (in NJ) would you need to take out a general contractor insurance policy or does the builders risk insurance policy on each property as well as hiring fully insured sub-contractors suffice?  

I have my primary and 'rental' house with Allstate - been with them for 5 years.I am closing on house #3 (that is replacing my rental house ) on the 25th.Geico requires me to move my car insurance in order to get this 3rd house insurance...Liberty Mutual is worst  - must move my primary house with the rental...Thoughts ?

After that we look at portfolio loans or what is known in the industry as Non-QM loans.

Industrial, office, multifamily, retail, hospitality?

Get title insurance, wire the cash.

Real Estate Investing is all fun and games until you need medical insurance. 

I'm a Louisville insurance agent looking to break into REI.

Have good insurance.
