Yes after rehab there is a possibility for “landlord insurance” that you’d need to specify with your insurance agency if you’re not living theremost insurance agencies are hesitant to lend on properties that aren’t occupied, at least from my experience.

However, recently a good friend of mine from church (who happens to have an extensive experience in RE) offered me to partner up to help me start and without me having to put any money, just asked me to contribute to him by finding a low cost deal, help with the process and he promised me to split profits equally if either selling or holding.

If you have not managed property before, I recommend working for a property management firm first to gain some experience.
