I also wish I would have gotten through my thick head that you don't want to own the property, and the idea that the more equity you have the less your return is. yet at the same time it's your safety net if the market falls.

I never used my broker license for a full time job even though I kept it active for about 30 years.i closed a few deals for other people and have only one real estate investment deal for myself.As a safety thing, right after you close on an improved property, get an insurance policy that will protect you if there is a loss.  

It really helps to know your area -- the less you know, the larger the margin of safety you need to factor into your purchase price.  

@Phillip SyriosYou can not exit thru a garage as this is a higher hazard (per the building code) than the rest of the common area.

As soon as you can comfortably do it or have it arranged, change the exterior door locks to provide you some safety.  

Then I ask them how would you like to take that money and invest it in something you are already familiar with and have 100% safety in your investments?

The program's focus is to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public.

Rate of return and safety of the investment are what will matter to him.

It might be worth paying another 1% to a bank for the safety of knowing your owner financiers cannot be foreclosed on. 

What are effective ways to word, non-hypothetical policies to ensure the safety of your residents and property?
