Offhand, I'm not aware of any "hazardous" waste issues from typical trailer construction.

So I was over on Tim Wieneke's great thread on the hazards of going into vacant properties and several posters mentioned that they carry concealed weapons.I'd like to find out what type of concealed weapons are most preferred and why?...

You will need that if someone leaves you a garage full of hazardous waste.

That way if my rental rates are off, this buys me time to do some due dilligence and the time for my contractor to look over the property and get me a quote.I have only had to back out of a contract once based on the clause.For a newbie, it may not be a bad idea to have a bit of a safety net.

From things as simple as riding a bike, education in how to ride, safety, etc is important.

; check for excessive ice buildup in freezer or mold on refer gasket (if you provide); check for electrical hazards- extension cords under rugs, broken outlets, too many devices per circuit.Check for other hazards as well- loose stairs or railings, fire hazards like curtains next to the stove, or stacks and stacks of paper goods; cracked, broken, or missing window panes; uneven floor surfaces; look for signs of termites, rats, roaches, or unauthorized pets.

If you do it on an ongoing procedure than you will build a safety net into your plans.

I don't want any legal trouble up front.My other concern is safety/securing of the site.

That equity is a safety cushion so that you don't find yourself in an upside down situation, where you have a mortgage balance that's higher than what the house is worth.

So even if not practically useful, I get the degree/safety net with minimal fuss and am able to get serious with commercial investment that much faster.Accounting has the obvious benefit of me being able to handle my own books.
