My contractor is great, referred by a fellow successful investor and also shared that, he himself stays away from Shaker for similar reasons (inspectors, process etc).

Here are a few I recommend: "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Roberto Kiyosaki; "Set for Life" by Scott Trench; "The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing" by Spencer; "The BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginners Guide" found here on BP; "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Tuner.

You can start by reaching out to independent insurance agents who work with multiple carriers and can provide quotes from various companies still willing to insure rental properties in high-risk areas.

All security deposits shall be held by the landlord for the tenant, who is a party to the rental agreement, in a bank, credit union, or depository institution which is insured by an agency of the federal government.

Originally posted by @Jonathan Greene:No brokerages are, in and of themselves, investor-friendly. 

Therefore, even if an applicant acknowledges her credit history and offers a larger deposit, landlords must adhere to the legal limits set by the state.

I'm interested in buy and hold deals through the BRRRR method.

Is your property impacted by this market dynamic?
