It can only protect you if you are honest, a landlord who keeps health and safety codes up, you have great insurance, you never mix the money, and you are lucky.

So you should have a flipping arm to your REI company. 

I would even obtain a COFI arm permanent loan where the payments were based on an interest rate lower than what the market rates were.

The Nest thermostats have this feature, they call it a "safety temperature".

@Ryan Fox @Kevin SobiloOur lease does state:"Tenant may not infringe upon the quiet enjoyment right or safety of other tenants through disturbances including but not limited to TVs, stereos, musical instruments, other loud noises, heavy walking, or other disturbing actions."

It was an expensive articulating arm mount.

Flippers who show they make safety and energy effiecent changes as well as install beautiful granite, etc...and seem like nice, decent people...would probably give an appraiser the confidence to appraise on the high end of a range.

With our VA "safety rails" removed, I read through David Greene's books Long-Distance Real Estate investing and purchased a multifamily property in Illinois.

That’s reallly where I like being, I rather buy 100 doors at $200 per door, than 10 for $900... get decent cashflow today, and the wealth tomorrow type thing.We buy dozens of SF units each month in one arm of my real estate business, which can include the low volume hard rehabs, or high volume turkey style properties.At the sametime I’m also investing my cash into MF directly myself, or via syndications. 

There are stacking companies on BP who charge an arm and leg for this.
