Still spending time in one of those warm island nations???

I think the answers to your questions will be lender specific and will be determined by the apetite the bank has for certain types of loans as well as your relationship with the lender/institution.

So I’m curious what experiences BP nation has and what you would discuss with your lender(s) to smooth the path forward.

And while all real estate is local, national and global trends do affect the local markets are not isolated from the bigger world.

I have an engineer that travels nationally.

Hello BP nation, I am analyzing multifamily properties for my upcoming move back to Florida.

If not multifamily they are buying retail strip centers with national tenants guaranteeing the lease and covering all of the expenses including taxes, insurance, etc. so you are passive.      

As an investor I use National Real Estate Insurance Group for all of my own rentals, flip projects, vacant homes, etc.

On day 1 "Monday" we sent the measurements of the kitchen to our cabinet company...Who turned out the design in a couple hours...We could have saved MEGA bucks by ordering direct from one of our national suppliers, but that would have taken about 3 weeks.  

Truth be told the new stipulations are (9 times out of 10) instituted to help YOU improve and protect your new investment - while taking care not to be a "tenant unfriendly" landlord.
