For example what if a house burns to the ground?

So as a previously burned person in bait and switches am simply assuming that when you don’t talk about fees and you list all these “things” you can do, you are hiding fees later.

If you rush into a deal just to buy something you will get burned for sure.

Don’t get me wrong, I realize there’s a class of folks out there with too much money to burn, but if anyone reading this is sitting on a spare $1m they’re throwing into 3 month/year New England ski house because they don’t know what else to do with their money let me know.

You don't need to make all your money on your first deal, but if you crash and burn on the first there will be no second deal!

I have no idea who to follow guidance from and don’t want to get burned. 

I have not a burned house, no insurance, nobody wants to tell me anything, still under investigation, and the ENO insurance company hasn't called me back in to weeks.  

The tenant's not going to put door putty and paint on and end up in a coma or burn the house down.Let them do what they are going to do.
