We tend toward a rosy perspective on concepts which enhance our own career pursuits, disposed to glossing over endemic threats to our success.

There have been changes over the past year to comply with new regulations and a there are a few enhancements.

I see a lot of folks successful and enhance their chances w/properties in their own local.  

In another article, (https://www.dunncarney.com/2007/06/layering-limited-liability-companies-does-it-enhance-the-liability-shield/) it seems to confirm the same but was structured in a way that I could not tell if that was only in the case of wrongful conduct.If any of my information seems to be incorrect or misinformed let me know so I can correct my understanding.

You have title insurance and that depends on the price of property and whether you get enhanced or not.  

Could you upgrade the property to improve rents / reduce maintenance / reduce vacancies / and even enhance equity during your hold period?

@Corey Dexter - run in the opposite direction of that "private lender". 

Also if you are cash poor and time rich, you can put in sweat equity to enhance your returns.

Make sure that any enhancements you do are in-line with other properties of a similar type.

My philosophies on life and business would be present in that life>work/money, but hard, smart work and money can enhance life.
