I have thought seen some nasty forest fires started by laymen trying to burn wasp nests from their eves.

I made money but then got burned when our family friend financial advisory made some stupid decisions with my money.I sold a lot of stock to buy my primary residence in Los Angeles. 

Wife is frightful about getting burned by contractors, agents and just not knowing what all is involved. 

The last thing you want to do is burn a bridge with an agent that might be a good source of leads down the road.  

Liability covers losses like leaving candles burning, house burned down because of their negligence, etc....Water in the basement not due to flood is most often an excluded risk, whether you are a tenant or a homeowner or a landlord. 

New blinds always wow applicants.I don't know what it is, but sometimes burners just seem to burn out on certain stoves. 

If you intend to finance your flip + rehab your lender may either require significant experience with a burn out or that you hire a lic. contractor with proven experience.   

After all, no one is going to take care of your stuff, like you.I personally have enjoyed managing my property.Disclaimer: I was burned by a property manager and now manage myself.

Most septic systems supporting a single home are sized one at a time unless planned as part of a larger community.Between the land development, utility costs and bringing in a home it can be a good cash burn, so make sure you have it all spec'd out.

I've recently done a couple investments around KC, but the contractors I used for various professions burned me and cost me precious time and money.
