I love my 20' collapsible telescoping ladder which is like climbing a go-go gadget ninja bamboo ladder (not real sturdy to work off of but handy to get on roofs, easy to carry).

People don't get multi-million dollar awards because of no-fault accidents.So, limit your liability by removing problems you could get sued for - make sure the electrical is to code, and there are fire extinguishers, provide outside lighting if it's a bad neighborhood, take care of pest control, make sure the roof won't collapse, that stairs are in good order, that there are no swimming pools kids can get into.I just can't think of any "terrible injury" that could have been caused by you, if you just take care of the property.And, of course, get a reasonable amount of insurance to cover you for any accidents that may happen, that a tenant may file a claim against you for.But, to put things into perspective - I managed 25 units for 8 years as a resident manager.
