RM#2: Sister. 

My brother in law is a professor at the college and my sister in law works from home with the 3 small kids.

HI My sister and I are geared up to dive into property investment with a fix-and-flip project in Ohio.

My sister and I just bought a 3 storey, 3,400 sq.ft SFH, zoned R-4 and are converting it to a triplex.

Here's the quick backstory on the situation: My grandfather passed away in 2007 and left his estate to my mother, her sister and brother.

Start with market rent and multiply:85% for lineal descendants and ancestors, up to 2 generations90% for brothers and sisters 95% for 2nd and 3rd cousins (2% extra if partially removed)125% for monster-in-law (whoops, mean mother-in law), unless you actually like her and value your marriage, then drop to 50% and count yourself ahead.

My mother is a co-trustee of a land trust from their deceased parents where she, her sister and one brother want to sell the land to receive their share.

The only issue we have had getting the claims paid is when we filed against the renter's old policy and not their renewal policy, however our sister company in Denver (who initially turned us on to Rhino) have stopped using it after a couple of issues collecting.We have tenants carry 2x the monthly rent in Rhino coverage in lieu of a traditional cash security deposit.

My parents have 40+ years in SFH rentals and have done quite well for themselves and have educated my sister and I quite a bit about the industry.
