In 2003, Stacy Kennedy was rapidly climbing the ladder of corporate success… but going in the wrong direction. After spending many years getting her accounting degree and CPA license, corporate America became her life. Stacy learned how to tackle chaos within companies and create systems to turn them around financially and operationally.  She knew there had to be more to life than a 60+ hour a week job where her efforts built shareholders’ wealth, rather than her own. Struggling financially, mired in student loan debt and feeling like she was missing out on life, Stacy was introduced to the world of real estate investing. Over the next several years, Stacy started educating herself on multiple ways to invest in real estate and became an expert in creative financing.  She acquired a masters degree from the School of Hard Knocks and found herself being drawn to working in the area of multi family real estate and property management. Stacy Kennedy is a CPA, Multli-family investor nationwide and investor trainer.  Over time and through the school of hard knocks, she applied her corporate learned systems and professional training to develop her “Letter of Intent” to protect her when acquiring underperforming properties.   For listeners of CREPN Radio, Stacy is providing this Letter of Intent for FREE!

CREPN Radio Guest Kevin J. Connolly is a 1985 graduate of Fordham University School of Law. He began his career as a real estate lawyer at the firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, where he became the principal in charge of construction law. He recognized at an early date that construction and insurance have a strong connection, If you are IN the construction business And you are not properly insured, Then sooner or later you will be OUT of business, Likely with a bang. Recognizing that connection led Mr. Connolly to enroll in the American Institute for Property-Casualty Insurance in order to receive the same training as an insurance underwriter that is taken by insurance professionals. He recognized that just as we coordinate all the construction documents that go into a contract, so, too, it is crucial to coordinate the terms of the contract with the insurance coverage Lawyers are notorious for cooking up insurance requirements that have no relation to the insurance market. The lawyers’ forms are out of date and often no effort is made to ensure that the insurance program can be made to work. He also learned that other peoples’ insurance must be vetted with a hawk’s eye and an attention to detail. He adopted a mantra that he adheres to to this very day. RTFP  Read the FINE policy. There is no substitute for reviewing the actual insurance policy and making sure that it corresponds to the insurance program that is embedded into contracts. Mr. Connolly has found that working out the details in an insurance program before any claims are presented makes a remarkable difference in getting insurance claims handled and paid with a minimum of disruption.
