How could we better mitigate risk?

And as J said, this site is focused on investing vs. speculating -- mitigating risk is a key belief here.Good luck and we'll see you around.

Investing in a trust deed to earn 10% interest making sure the loan to value is under 70% is a very safe place to be and a profitable one that is passive and does not require any management duties.I am not saying that nobody should invest in buy and hold if they only get an 8% return, but I am saying that one should excessive your options of vehicles for the best returns while mitigating risk.

Also insurance will be higher in these areas and a wind mitigation inspection is required to get an insurance discount.

The problem is that most brokers are unwilling to go the extra steps to ensure that they have lease option documentation that satisfies state requirements for their agents...thus mitigating the risks and making sure that these deals will still be covered by their insurance carriers.

Our court case is now set for early February.Is posting the unit for rent on Craigslist sufficient to show an effort to mitigate damages or do I have to spend money on a print news media?

Also, a wind mitigation inspection will determine cost related to hurricane coverage, and they really can't give you a hard quote without it.

You need to help mitigate the problem.If they get a motel for the night, are you planning on paying for it?

(It might also be worth mentioning, as your guy thinks about making this product, that any kind of data solution that generates predictive modeling to be used by a large number of clients has some significant liability exposures that he would want to mitigate, actively, and probably at the architecture level.)

Lastly, any recommendations on how hard my friend should push back on this or any other questions he should be asking to ensure that any risk is mitigated?
