@Irina Badal The best way to protect your rental investment is to carry adequate insurance. 

I had to start the eviction process, but fortunately, they left a little over a month after their lease ended—just before it went to court.These challenges reinforced the importance of tenant screening and clear leases, lessons I’d carry with me throughout the year.Summer: Refinancing and Big ChangesSummer brought a mix of wins and challenges:I began having issues with the garden unit tenants, which would escalate later in the year.After learning from the screening mistakes I made with the garden unit, I updated the third-floor unit and rented it to great new tenants.

However, they can carry more risk if vacant and usually offer less cash flow.Multi-family properties provide steady income from multiple tenants and scale your portfolio faster, but they require more upfront capital, stricter financing, and can be harder to manage.If you're new, starting with a single-family home is a simpler way to learn.

Your Solo 401k can sell and carry the note.  

If so, I'd look into that before a DSCR loan to avoid the prepayment penalty DSCRs carry.

It’s the most dangerous thing we do everyday, we carry liability insurance through our personal auto policy.

Is there a funky property tax issue that arises with the collateral that is a local municipality error and can lender quickly analyze the situation, assess and articulate the risk and allow draws to carry on or will they make the life of the borrower miserable?

There are many options for skip tracing, most just send a query to a single database while others hand-scrub the lists for the results.

The plans will probably be developed while the government plans, carries out, or coerces, clean up, and puts liens on the properties being cleaned up. 

Maintain good business practices an carry a decent insurance company.
