Mostly a long term buy and hold investor on Philly who has recently started pivoting into the MTR space. 

Hi Eric forgive my ignorance but what is MTR?

Hello everyone! we are Marco & Christine Padilla, and we're thrilled to be joining this vibrant community of real estate investors. I come from a background in law enforcement, currently residing in Philadelphia PA, and originally from Queens NY. As I explore new avenues to grow and achieve financial freedom, we have been drawn to the world of real estate investing.

While we may be relatively new to this field, we've taken the initiative to educate ourselves by reading books, listening to podcasts, and seeking guidance from experienced investors like yourselves. The insights we've gained has fueled our passion and desire to make a positive impact in the real estate industry.

At present, our focus is on building a portfolio of buy and hold rental properties to generate passive income. However, we remain open to exploring various investment strategies and opportunities that align with my long-term goals. We believe in the power of networking and learning from others, and are eager to connect with like-minded individuals who share a similar drive for success.

We understand that success in real estate is not a solo journey, and are excited to forge meaningful connections within this community. We're particularly interested in gaining knowledge in property analysis and expanding my network to collaborate on potential deals and learn from the experiences of seasoned investors.

We're grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this community and look forward to contributing, learning, and growing together. If anyone has any insights, advice, or simply wants to connect, please feel free to reach out. Here's to a prosperous journey in real estate investing!

We've been with NREIG for a few years now and as of last year and up until now it's been nothing but headaches. We too are looking to move our portfolio out of NREIG. We are out of state investing too and are thinking of going with a local insurance agency see how that works for us.

Incompetency and Mismanagement by NREIG Insurance

I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment regarding the recent incompetence and mismanagement displayed by NREIG Insurance. We have been a loyal customer of NREIG for quite some time, but the events that have transpired in the past few months have left me extremely dissatisfied with their service.

To provide some context, we recently discovered that NREIG had unilaterally cancelled the insurance policies for three of our properties, all of which were in escrow. Unbelievably, we were not notified about these cancellations, and it was only when the banks contacted us that we became aware of the situation. Naturally, I immediately contacted NREIG to seek clarification and resolution.

Shockingly, the response I received from NREIG was merely an admission of their own negligence. They revealed that the bank had paid for the policies, yet they failed to bill the bank the difference since they upped our insurance rates without notifying us, and neglected to inform us of the cancellations. Despite my repeated attempts to seek a resolution and clarification from NREIG, their representatives assured me that the issue was being handled, only to leave it unresolved and unaddressed.

Now, to my utter disbelief and frustration, the bank has informed me that we are responsible for the lack of coverage during this entire period. It is incomprehensible that I have been left exposed and vulnerable without insurance coverage from December 18, 2023, to the present date, February 6, 2024 - a lapse of almost two months. This level of professional negligence and disregard for customer wellbeing is utterly unacceptable.

Moreover, I find it deeply troubling that the person at NREIG who is supposedly in charge of my account, Devin, has not once reached out to me despite numerous voicemails and email notifications. This lack of communication further exemplifies the apparent disregard for customer service and accountability within the company.

Now today they're explaining that they can back date the coverage to January 1st 2024. This is ridiculous how they can just up the price of the insurance & not notify anyone. I will say this is as of the past year or so that we have had problems with them. Before then it was all aces, not sure if they are under new ownership or what it is however I can say their service has gone downhill as of the past year. Originally I had a business credit card on file and come to find out they were 2 of the properties which had the insurance and taxes in escrow we were still being charged for. After addressing that issue in the beginning of last year (and not getting compensated for them double dipping) now we have this fiasco to deal with.
