Judge Settle granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and default final judgment against the Tacoma, WA company after Meracord ceased defending itself from plaintiffs’ claims.

I've had to do some work to the property (drain tile in basements, insurance claim for plumbing issue) but I knew that things like this would happen and I could stomach these expenses with my W-2 income. 

Some say it’s possible to implement this strategy in Germany, while others claim you can't, due to regulations preventing the sale of mortgaged property before 10 years.There's a lot of confusion and misinformation, and no one seems to have solid information.This strategy is well-documented in the USA, with numerous videos on YouTube.

If the answer down the road changes and you don't notify your insurance provider that could cause an issue if there's a claim.

@Nubia Silva seems like relatively cheap repairs so I would advise to not make an insurance claim if you intend to expand your rental portfolio.

Quote from @Andy Sabisch: As you said, there are a ton of courses out there and all claim to have the magic potion that will ensure you are successful . . . with the support they all promise thrown in. 

or should I file a claim with my own landlord ./ homeowners insurance?

For the next ten years, they will continue to collect extremely high fees (4% property management fee, 2% asset management fee, 2% acquisition fee, 1% capital transaction fee etc…), continue to claim 0 capital calls, and continue to raise more money on new deals.

After everything was fixed and they listed the unit, apparently they claimed that I was not allowed to have any understanding of who would be renting my home due to potential bias and discrimination (this is the first time I have not been able to view applicants general profile (credit score/occupation(removing any identity markers)), but fine, I let them choose the tenant and so far there hasn't been any issues.

Deal with enough section 8 tenants and you will find out it not as rosy as some podcasts or books claim them to be.
