Mistakes in the search and examination of title, the preparation of the commitment and closing of the transaction happen every day due to inexperience, rush to satisfy demands to close and yes negligence, which generally is not fraud. 

The value of using an agent to sell a property isn't some inherent marketing prowess, as there are many many agents who have no clue what they are doing just like there are tons of ignorant wholesalers, but rather having some recourse at the state level and through their e&o insurance when they approach a transaction fraudulently or negligently.

In any case, if you're looking at Latin America, taxes are generally much lower than in the US, if not pretty much negligible.

Your own agent might discover or suggest that something like that should be investigated, but I don't think they would be negligent if they did not.

Here is a document that touches on it a bit: https://tax.ohio.gov/static/co...In terms of why some properties may get significant increases in assessed value and others may get a negligible increase, it comes down to what the sales price trend has been in that particular area.

Vacancy cost can be the largest expense after debt service or almost negligible, depending on the tenant pool.

I'm just tired of what seems to be lackluster growth that is probably the result of my own negligence. 

Or are we talking a $MM property where $33,500 is negligible?

You can't effectively disclaim liability for things under your control, or things that suggest negligence on your part.

With respect to our tenants renter's policies, it will be a little more difficult to require this of low rent tenants but I have already discussed with my PMs and we are working on an approach to make sure they all have in effect policies so my policy is not first in line in case of a loss due to tenant negligence (even if we have to contribute to the cost).
