I can buy a 300,000$ house in a good neighborhood, with a 80% finance from the bank, and can rent it for about 2,000$ easily, which represents an excellent rate of return.Do you think it is wise for me to go for this deal?

Thanks Timothy, glad it was useful. make sure you send all your contractors to BP to sign up and register, they can easily download it themeselves at that point!

Usually $40 or so for this.For just photos and valuation, we have hired BPO agents to take pics and do full blown BPOs, usually $80-100.I've had decent luck on craigslist for small one off odd jobs, make sure I get their car license plate, photo of the drivers license and a facetime/skype call face to face to feel them out.Its not easy all of the time, but when you can get to the point where you can flip properties in your OWN market without seeing them, you can do it in other markets just as easily.

Other than that, Property insurance is one of the lines of insurance that cannot easily be put into a Captive.

You know their systems and could easily reproduce those.

My mind processes math very easily, though, and the math of real estate investment (more particularly owning rental homes) has me very interested.My goal is to save enough for a down payment on rental property, and in the meantime become as much of an expert as possible on the local market and applicable laws.
