I have been an insurance agent for many years and I have recently been given the oppotunity to start my own agency. We have an empty office building, we just aren’t sure where to begin opening a brand new agency (getting the needed licenses and possibly buying a small book of business). I currently work for an indpendent agency and I know our new owners bought our book of business and has done very well. Any ideas, advice or instructions??

Buying a new build property in London, good investment ?
I am looking at investing in a new build property as a buy to let in London. The property is in a large new block of flats close to the centre of London, the main thing that is bothering me is the competition from the other flats when it comes to finding tenants. Is that a big problem ?

Has anyone ever heard of buying a Universal Life Insurance policy in order to have retirement money?
I was recently told of a practice that is supposed to work better than simply saving back money for retirement age.
For example:
You buy a policy for the sole intent of dumping money into it, and borrowing from it, and paying the money back with a higher rate of interest in order to “build your own bank” so that you can have retirement money.
Is this a common practice? Anybody know anything about it?
Thanks

Buying cash. The condo is in a foreclosed building. What now?
Looking at a bunch of condos that are really cheap. I’ve already found out that no one/bank will finance them because:
1) no condo association
2) not owner occupied
3) those condos are usually in a building with 2 or 3 other units that are foreclosed, or bank owned, or short sale (brief, being sold at the same time)
4) no equity or low value for them to be worth their while
I have the cash to buy one of those units and was wondering what happens if I do and what may be some of the guaranteed or projected risks.
Say I buy one in a 3-unit building. Assume that the other two are bank-owned. Then:
1) how does water bill get paid?
2) how do taxes get paid?
3) there’s no condo association. do I still have to pay that?
4) how about insurance on the building? I certainly can’t assure it on my own seeing I don’t owe the other units.
5) once the other units get sold, do we have to set up an association and who’s in charge of that?
6) can the state come after my unit because the bank who own the other ones are not paying?
I’m going under the assumption that if those places are bank owned, then the banks have to pay their taxes and bills to the city so that they don’t get a lien on the units but I could be naive in thinking so.
I hope someone can help answer these questions.
Thanks!
All three units are owned by different banks and they are advertised as “bank listed foreclosures” or “REO” or “Bank Owned”
