If you're having issues finding somebody who insures rentals at a reasonable rate, ask your broker for the other options that they offer other than the big name they represent.

I want to put offers on about 20 properties that have been on the MLS for more than 365 days.

I'm just as inexperienced as you so I can't offer much but I've been reading books and forums relentlessly.

It's all well and good and groovy to have a smart refrigerator or wireless security system...until those devices/systems offer up every little bit of personal & private information available on the IT systems they are connected to. 

Looks like Realty Mogul is jumping in with Fundrise in offering a REIT like offering.

How do I come up with a fair offer?

Currently have a accepted cash offer on a house that may have some foundation issues and need a additional quote to reference for potential cost.

Curious what kind of rates hard and private lenders are offering near you? 

I am here for all the amazing information and experience that this site has to offer.

I finally have an  excepted offer and should be closing by the end of the month.
