My questions are: 1) Is this a common concept in commercial properties that the tenant is responsible to repair, maintain, and replace anything in their leased space regardless of the cause?

I agree with the op that for the most part the idea of privacy as an effective or meaningful concept in asset protection planning is a fallacy.But the idea that folks are of different “camps” in asset protection planning is unfortunate as it is not a useful dialogue IMHO.

If you need to do Skip Tracing, mailers, and "Propstream", you don't understand the concept of motivated sellers, and that is why so many of you struggle.If you do not understand the concept of motivated sellers, how do you expect to be successful in finding them.I recommend you read my post here:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/1215116-all-i...

From what I've read in the Wall Street Journal, Austin's push to increase zoning for multifamily developments seems to be making a real difference.

Since childhood, I have been fascinated by the concept of rental properties.

It's a simple concept and is very easy to understand.

My main thing is in how little people have explained this concept to me.

I recognize that this is a matter of personal opinion, but I am particularly interested in exploring the concepts of lease and sub-lease.- What measures can landlords take to ensure protection while renting, and what steps should be considered prior to seeking a tenant?

I have read the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad twice now, so I do not need a reminder of using the concept "I cant do it or blah blah blah."
