Hello everyone,I'm in the process of purchasing my first fourplex rental property, wondering what other investors in the area use for rental property insurance in the Cedar Rapids area.

I am looking to connect and partner with investors in the DMV area!

The main players in this space are Guidance Residential and UIF, but it turns out that they may just be purchasing a Freddie/Fannie loan on the back end to finance the deal and then structure it differently for the buyer - which isn't in accordance with their religious rules. 

I am on the board at CFRI (Central Florida Realty Investors), the local chapter to the national REIA and one of the largest in the country. 

As someone with househacked properties, garage conversions and all sorts the "2%" rule is near impossible.

Hello BP Community,My name is Patrick Belanger, and my wife and I (both engineers turned entrepreneurs) havebeen investing in Edmonton and the surrounding communities since 2013, buildinga 32 unit local portfolio of single family homes, duplexes, garage suites, andsmall new-build multifamily (6 and 8 unit properties).

When I was wholesaling, the hardest thing to do was to find reliable contractors who could get the job done and not leave the house a total mess. 

If that's who you are interested in, listening to him on any podcast for an hour will tell you a lot about the vibe of the company before you do more due diligence.

In this case, the numbers worked, so we bought the deal.

Any other tips, recommendations, etc are most welcome.
