Do you want to be a landlord?

Hey BiggerPockets Community,If you’re raising capital for real estate syndications, you need to be aware of SEC regulations—because one wrong move could put you in serious legal trouble.Many new syndicators think they can just start pooling money from investors without following the proper rules.

I want to learn from experienced landlords here, how much deductible should we choose? 

I have recently switched my insurance from home owners to landlord policy.

If the applicant comes from the pool of people that I or my tenants know, I use real estate as a way to give back as many of my tenants will not qualify credit wise or may even have a criminal background or would struggle for another reason if I were to just stick to the "background/credit check" criteria. 

I have family in Houston, Dallas, and the Valley, I was networking with brokers in San Antonio, but the Taxes seem to be quite high as well in that State, although much favorable laws/regs on the landlord side.

You have no more at risk than you do in your own home (where you probably have more equity.) or your own car (where you probably have more risk.) and we won’t talk about if you have a pool or a dog. 

The landlord does.

Have you ever heard of a Landlord being sued by a Tenant and losing property?
