In each project you’ll have your share of issues, but your ratio of success is always going to be better when you’ve properly planned and have Safeguards in place.

@Jay HinrichsI agree with you related to the general class of sub to sellers and that many of them wouldn't quite understand about the insurance but, in general, I told all of them that we had safeguards in place to make sure their notes were paid in a timely fashion and that if their credit scores were being hurt because of their payment history prior to the sale that it was likely that their credit scores would rise after the sale (all else being equal). 

I'm looking at a company called Safeguard Advisors who deal in self directed ira's and other investment.

You can buy, sell, hire contractors, hire managers, but you cannot DO anything yourself.I used Safeguard Advisors to set up my accounts.

There are alot of safeguards for lenders that can be put into place to give them protection on riskier loans and clients, minimizing risk.

They recommend building in the below safeguards: - a "friendly" trust deed.

At Safeguard, we speak with hundreds of investors who are considering a self directed plan each month.  

Safeguard Roofing can give the quote from a drone. 

FYI, after the first 2 months of estimating I was seldom off on my estimates by $1,000, and the actual repair estimates came in less.From this point, not only did I write the offers and negotiate on behalf of the member, line up the inspection, but also helped teach the members how to safeguard themselves through the process.

Because investors have control over how and when renovations are executed, rather than relying solely on market appreciation, they have more options when it comes to safeguarding capital and maximizing returns.
