Business Continuity: If you invest with partners, a properly structured key person insurance or buy-sell agreement funded by life insurance can ensure a smooth transition if one partner is no longer around. 

@Peter Dukaj personally think the government should make it more expensive to build than renovate.

Quote from @Hanna Brown: @Jay Hinrichs If the bidder at the auction pays cash for keys to get the homeowner out, does the person redeeming from the owner position (exercising rights of redemption w/in 180 days) have to reimburse them for those costs they paid to get the homeowner out?
