Austin Petrie [Real Example] An Expense You Might Have Never Thought Of

From everything I've read, this should be covered by a landlord insurance policy that covers damage done by tenants (specifically, this tends to be categorized as Vandalism because the tenant is knowingly doing damage to your property).Here are some photos of the aftermathtldr; A tenant smoking meth cost my colleague over $25,000.The key takeaways here I believe are: 1) get a good insurance policy, being stingy might cost you years worth of profit, 2) screen your tenants well and inspect frequently (especially for lower class properties), and 3) be prepared for unexpected costs, this might be a rarer case but **** happens.Also I'm not a lawyer or insurance expert so you should consult professionals with regards to your state laws and local insurance policies to figure out how to cover yourself from a situation like this.I'm interested to hear if any of you have had to deal with something similar and also any suggestions you might have.

FYI: Now that the LO comp rule is in effect it's illegal for a lender to get paid more or less depending on your specific interest rate, so there's no reason not to get you the best rate out there among alt-doc loan programs, if that makes sense, meaning you're not exposing yourself to predatory behavior by being upfront about not being rate sensitive, like you would have been had you said that in 2006.
