Due to increased unpredictability and ungodly commissions (40-60%) it's usually expected claim plus 150%.

"Floor structure had a represented number of non-standard beam and joist supports... their long-term ability to maintain support is unpredictable"

I am not accustomed to posting personal information but it may help and it piggybacks off David's post above.I do not have time to follow the stock market as much as I would like and even when I did when I was younger, I found it irrational, unpredictable and out of my control.  

And I would argue any day that humans behave in illogical and unpredictable ways, and will do so forever into the future.The fact that predictions come from everywhere, on both sides of the bet, and every year/month/day doesn’t in itself make these predictions invalid.

I honestly think Lawrence could be the true up and comer if they could ever get a handle on their unpredictable politics/ dysfunctional local government.

All of the offers I received on my first flip I'm selling having been requesting Home Warranty to be included.I've read that some drawbacks include: Unpredictable response time; too many clauses/exclusions that providers can use to deny claims (drawn out process to dispute); you're using their contractors only; and it's up to them whether something gets replaced or repaired.I'm sure there are people that have saved tons of money using home warranties.

I suppose realistically option 1 shouldn’t conflict too hard with 2 or 3 as it wouldn’t necessarily tie up that much capital, but I’m worried about either qualifying for a mortgage, or qualifying for a mortgage on a new house, while having a highly irregular and unpredictable income.

We’d rather not deal with that since it’s unpredictable and we’re hoping whatever we do can be replicated over and over on a moments notice.

It sure is easier to devote yourself to something when you're not dealing with the anxieties of an unpredictable income stream, lack of benefits, etc.You've got your license.

Houses will always need repairs at unpredictable times.
