Aside from the basics lease defend gave me reports outlining the tenants spending patterns over the past 2 years, I am in love with this.What I want to know is; besides the tools I have used, what else should I be doing.  

They're looking to simply make their money renting, until the bank comes knockin', defending and slowing them down.

You can win the battle and still lose the war, all depends on how much you would want to spend defending yourself for discrimination. 

What ever contract / lease / other document you use, run it by your attorney to make sure (s)he can defend it in court.

When the homeowner is delinquent & there's a notice on the house from the Sheriff's office stating "Plaintiff demands an answer from Defendant" but doesn't have a foreclosure date, is the deal worth pursuing for assignment (wholesale)?

And of those times, how many times did the tenant appear in court to defend the fees?  

Since they were no longer the owner, they were able to go to court and get themselves removed as defendants in the case.Illegal, no, but unethical? 

So think about how it fits your ability to follow the rules...And perhaps the real 800 lb gorilla is legal fees in a lawsuit and the LLC has no duty to defend as mentioned above, so you want the landlord policy and umbrella there for that, so you can afford the legal fight in the first place, and legal fees eclipse the claims over and over these days (the phantom threat is legal fees perhaps as much as liabilities in my opinion, 10K slip and fall 100K legal fees)....And you still may need the landlord policy for the claims related to issues like wrongful eviction, fair housing, etc so you have coverage there and defense costs covered as mentioned above...

Peter brings up key aspect of duty to defend, too, which is a real factor to consider (and while I like an LLC for a paid for property, it does not provide that key advantage in the risk management formula, I am not getting into due on sale or pro se issues here)..

I don't use it anymore because I have a PM now and they use their own lease.My attorney created the lease that would not only cover me but also allow her to more easily defend me or fight for me in a court of law should the need arise.
