Assignees who come in late and insist on closing with "my title company" sometimes get their way when the wholesaler is weak and inexperienced... but they should also expect to pay for all of the work undertaken, and all expenses incurred, by the first title company.

If you are a veteran or the child of a veteran then I recommend USAA - their landlord policy is excellent and not expensive.

You will want homeowners for your side, landlords insurance for the other.One advantage of landlords insurance is that the rates tend to be lower than homeowners rates because you do not insure the contents of the home.

Unless rates lower it may be status quo.

But, for sure, It will be an expensive, legal entanglement, with no clear path to a solution. 

It is very expensive. 

I'm telling potential STR buyers that if they can stand short-term mediocre numbers, they're likely to see an increase in the metrics in the next year or two as A) new investors continue to waffle over the higher interest rates so new listings decline and B) some existing owners sell because of the lower numbers of the past year.

If that's not an option, maybe take the route of shelving that's not too expensive.

Do not mix your personal expenses with business on the same credit card, checking account...

There will be expenses you will have to maintain sure but the appreciation, tax benefit and rising rent/mortgage pay off make it a no brainer.
