Michael A. My Biggest Fear - Personal Liability Coverage
16 October 2023 | 11 replies
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.  
Ciara Smith Who pays for blocked toilet repair?
17 June 2015 | 17 replies
(2) Landlord will NOT pay to repair the following items unless caused by Landlord’s negligence: (a) conditions caused by Tenant, an Occupant, or any guest or invitee of Tenant; (b) damage to doors, windows, and screens; (c) damage from windows or doors left open; (d) damage from wastewater stoppages caused by foreign or improper objects in lines that exclusively serve the Property;I assume the toilet was working fine when the tenants moved in and at the stoppage is just located in the toilet, then this is something that was caused by the tenant or a guest and at the tenants responsibility.The only time we would charge an owner for clog is if the sewer line is collapsed and is usually evident by roots or mud in the line.If the sewer line is fine and any clogs are deemed the tenants responsibility.

The more things you're trying to do yourself as a noob, the more you open yourself up to risk and can just straight up go bankrupt (ie you do your own due dilligence and mess up big time on something structural and a buy and hold collapses on your tenants)The more you dabble in --you'll also learn a **** ton and be able to wear many hats....The less experience you have I'm sure you'll outsource, but at some point you'll say-- hey I can do that (and save a few hundred here or a few thousand there)    Then there's Legal aspects, contracts etc.
