It doesn't take too much work to be able to spot within a few years when a house was built- just like a car nut can easily tell the difference between a 1920 and an 1950 Ford, or a fashion queen can tell when a poodle skirt fits and what trends are in or out this year.

When I mentioned that I would eventually move to rehabbing, he did go ahead and quote me for general liability based on rehabbing construction, as well as coverage for any possible accidents while showing a property.I am still in the process of creating an LLC through my attorney, and do plan to carry a decent policy once my agent figures out what to actually cover me for :D FWIW, I mentioned an umbrella policy to my agent since I have seen that tossed around here a bit, but he said umbrella policies are for individuals.

I bought Ford(F), Bank of America (BAC), Sirius(SIRI), Citigroup(C), Fannie Mae(FNM), Freddie Mac(FRE), and AIG back in March 09 (around the time of the Bail Out)and have seen about a 150% return so far..........

Not in the real estate or finance business at all.leverages the CA home to the hilt then goes to the mid west and pays cash for D class low end rentals.. so now what does this guy have no experience in the trench's  2,000 miles away from his investments.. and no equity in his personal residence anymore that would be tax free if he sold it.. and own what is arguably the most risky investment in the rental realm low end D class in the mid west.. that is see as reckless..
