@Charlie MooreYou don't have to worry about your tenants asking you.When the hammer comes down on you in PA for not keeping the money in that account, it's going to be during small claims litigation with a tenant.

I have a similar background - my undergrad is in civil engineering. 

Hi,Any recommendations for Civil Engineers in Charlotte, NC area. 

As long as I keep everything separated that should protect my personal assets from litigation correct?

The decay of Western civilization can be seen up and down the entirety of the West coast.

The strategy can certainly make sense but I'd approach a civil engineer/architect upfront to see what you might be working with.

To all you land developers out there, are you able to finance soft costs (civil engineering and architecture)? 

If the property owner later redeems the certificate in reliance on the deceptive or unfair practice, the unfair or deceptive contact is actionable under applicable laws prohibiting fraud.501.2075 says that the civil penalty for violating: ...is liable for a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 for each such violation.

It's the opposite in a judicial state, which can last a year or more and require a lot of money to litigate.

not much unless your a slumlord.. but anyone can sue anyone.. most tenants don't have the money to engage in litigation.
