What do you do to ensure your safety if you are renting out a unit/units right next to the one you live in? 

Is this something you would request the tenant pay for considering it is not a safety issue/needs to be repaired?

As I'm not sure whether they will close, I usually build in a safety net of one of the choices being a Delaware Statutory Trust just in case the targets fall through. 

If you don't want to get another job again I strongly suggest that your first goal should be to invest in passive income properties that will generate enough income to pay for your living expenses (add 10% safety).

What i found interested me the most was Multi-Family in the 5+ unit range, the relative safety is what initially attracted me to it and as I learned more about it it became my passion.

Looking to purchase a MFH in another state because it's a lot more affordable than Florida's current market.How would you go about researching the quality of life, crime rate and overall safety and feel of a neighborhood when looking to purchase a property in an area you're not familiar with.Of course, before purchasing the property, I'll go and visit but I do not want to waste time (and money) going to a bunch of duds, if there is an easier way to get somewhat of an idea on the area without actually being there.

So NO safety switch capability.

But I am wondering if anyone else has experienced an appraiser refusing to finish a report due to "vast number of code violations" and not a safety issue?

Everyone is being advised not to travel at all right now for public safety sake, so it’s not really a consumer’s decision not to travel.
