However, in general, PM's usually do not have liability unless there was some form of negligence by the PM.You would also need to be able to prove the negligence. 

I generally recommend at least 500,000 USD in capital if a non-resident alien wishes to invest in the US.And if you think about DIYing these obligations, you should be aware that the penalties for even non-negligent non-compliance are egregious. 

Unless it’s clearly evident that the damage was a result of the tenants actions or negligence, I would say this expense is the landlords responsibility. 

My cost to sell is negligible @ $10, so not even worth bothering with it.

I’ve lost money in the stock market, but that’s negligible compared to the gains.I understand that the risk adjusted return in real estate is better.

An acre has more value than 5,000 sq feet, but in most neighborhoods lot sizes are similar and the difference is negligible. 

I do think that landlords who are really negligent and create safety issues should be punished, and we do have some of those here.

If there isn't any negligence it's pretty safe to say you won't be in a high risk situation. 

Yes, the renters auto insurance providing they have comprehensive would cover any damage to the car if you have not been negligent. 

But IRR is also another commonly used performance metric and the dilutive effect on mid-term payments received due to appreciation on the property is negligible.
