It's just this one bad section 8 tenant and a ghetto landlord that is part of the problem. well back to the house sitter.. move out if rent is 3k a month get someone in for 1k a month as a house sitter. no place is immune that's for sure.. 

So, I can ask for doctors note, immunization records, ensure the animal performs a function the tenant can’t do on their own, professional training, etc?  

I know some industries will be mostly immune to the internet as they will always needs a physical location such as a car repair shop for example.

A 401k is subject to ERISA, which means is assets are immune to creditor seizure.

Can you put the property in a trust to make it immune from the BK?

I would think this only makes sense if you have a lot of cash and wish to immunize currency risk.

It appears that no bank whatever its size is immune, so hold on to your hat the ride is likely to get even bumpier.donrock

Those extra "cash value" dollars for whole life still get put to work in securities and/or other investments to immunize risk for the carrier.

Having your name on a deed immunizes a lot of this risk if you don't intend to sell, but buying a note does not yield (no pun intended) this luxury.

While pointing out deficiences will usually get other sellers to take notice, these sellers are immune to claims arisding out of such matters, so it has to be known to all to make a difference to them, IMO.
