Austin Petrie [Real Example] An Expense You Might Have Never Thought Of
2 October 2018 | 2 replies
From everything I've read, this should be covered by a landlord insurance policy that covers damage done by tenants (specifically, this tends to be categorized as Vandalism because the tenant is knowingly doing damage to your property).Here are some photos of the aftermathtldr; A tenant smoking meth cost my colleague over $25,000.The key takeaways here I believe are: 1) get a good insurance policy, being stingy might cost you years worth of profit, 2) screen your tenants well and inspect frequently (especially for lower class properties), and 3) be prepared for unexpected costs, this might be a rarer case but **** happens.Also I'm not a lawyer or insurance expert so you should consult professionals with regards to your state laws and local insurance policies to figure out how to cover yourself from a situation like this.I'm interested to hear if any of you have had to deal with something similar and also any suggestions you might have.

Patrick Philip What do you think about this contingency clause?
15 October 2018 | 30 replies
We all know buyers frequently site things like "inspection", "neighborhood review" etc as a reason to kill a contract, even when that's not the real reason.I just think it's not right to totally negate the risk of a buyer losing EM, EM is a required element for good reason.
