But you can bet I'll never omit that coverage again and will be reviewing what other "optional" policies there are that my agent neglected to tell me.

On any journey in life, we have necessary circumstances that come our way, in order to learn and grow.

Under no circumstances shall ---------------- or its employees and agents be liable to owner for direct, special or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of use, loss of profit or claims for delay damages made by contractors or subcontractors." 

Or is there something I am simply neglecting?

No, you cannot win this argument, except in some very unique circumstances.

.#7 Don’t Neglect Your Other BusinessesMany real estate investors have other businesses.

Great question Patrick.I was driving for $$ in my market and noticed owner neglect (high grass, damaged masonry, etc.). 

Many times it's a result of life's unavoidable circumstances. 

If you don't have that drive and that determination to make it work no matter what.... someone else that does will always surpass you.Now, mentorship is a great offer in some circumstances.

I have been talking to a few individuals in similar circumstances, and that was their general feel too..... until I stated 'educating' them about the potential benefits of it :-) , partially trough sharing posts and blogs from here at BP!
