Replacement cost coverage will be more expensive, but some insurance companies will only do that and not offer you other options.I think more important than which policy is the quality of the insurance provider and whether they will pay you out or not, or how easy they will and not fight you.

One other tip is to use the “4 Most Important Words” when talking to brokers.

I was in the Air Force for 8 years, and had planned to make it a career, now because of certain circumstances I have been back in the civilian world for the last two years and I am now realizing that I don't want to work for someone else for the rest of my life never finding financial freedom.

Thanks for the tips I had been in talks with the local realtor who helped me find this place.

The best contractors don't often go to Home Depot and Lowes as much as to the supply houses--they know the materials are better quality and usually less expensive than some of the 'second quality' stuff the box stores sell.Good luck.

My advice would be to spend time looking for high quality buyers who are able to buy many properties a year. 

I think it is a bit too early to tell for sure, but in my opinion, everything from the downtown to the airport will start to increase in value as the inventory shrinks, as nearby housing costs increase and as more quality homes start to leave the market.

Granted, I’m new to AirBNB but have done a ton of research into short-term rental and can offer some tips on dynamic pricing, calendar and property management, if you’d like :)What I’ve done is watch TONS of BP podcasts multiple times, signed up for a membership so I can use their calculator software, bought some books and done some networking...

Pro tip.

You'll start to learn the shorthand of ARV, CoC, ROI, cap-rate, etc. pretty quickly.I think most of the language around "where to buy" is a lot easier to understand:  job growth, population growth, average household income, unemployment, school district quality, crime heatmaps, blah...blah...blah...
