@Calin Segarceanu My best advice is to:1) Find an insurance broker who is licensed in all 50 states2) Narrow those insurance brokers down to who has a person who specializes in working with investors3) Create a relationship with that person/brokerage to maximize your portfolio efficiency and minimize the amount of time you have to worry about insurance during an acquisition.Feel free to message me for more suggestions!

Detroiters are all about relationships and understanding the motives of an outsider.

Once you are stationed elsewhere, it is nice to have an established relationship with a management company that can take care of things while you are deployed and unable to manage your property as effectively.

Construction loan is going to be something like Prime/LIBOR + 1.5 or 2, again depending on your experience and relationship with the bank.

I've found that by running comps on my own and then submitting that info to the realtor for a second look builds a relationship.

I don't necessarily want the cheapest, just the best value from someone who is competent, reliable, professional and who would be willing to maintain a relationship.

Once the remodel was done, I went to the same local bank my friend was using (I already had a credit line and relationship with them) and they did appraisal and I refi'd, paying off the private $ lender in full.
