@Steve Vaughan  when we went through the 08 to 2010 debacle and over 200 landlords handed me back their houses.. and lost ALL their money... it was an eye opener and they were all landlords all west coast based   a few on east coast.but they walked..  

forged in fire is a bad af name for a podcast!

I still think it's a good investment based off the numbers above regardless. 

Our PM company signs various ones for both our residential and commercial landlords with similar language and base pricing.

Time is money in the service world and you should expect a base charge if a PMC has to send a ServiceTech to fix something that truly only take 10 minutes to do.
