As to Chris' comment, when your attorney mentions "protection" he/she should be speaking in terms of estate protections, not liability.This subject has been hammered on.

If you don't take care of your property the people should hammer them with bad reviews. 

But human psychology doesn't change easily :-)To hammer it home... some of the most effective websites in their industries are also some pretty darn cluttered sites.

Steps two and three have to do with stabilizing and optimizing your properties, and the final step is the debt hammer and paying off any debts you have in full.

In other words, they put in all the money, you do all the work (though, usually with contractors, you don't need to swing a hammer) and then you split the profits 50/50.

You don't want to piss these people off too bad.I have seen people dump cement down the toilets on a ranch slab and the floor had to be jack hammered up and a bunch of new pipe put in.Have also seen a person tie a refrigerator to the top flight of the stairs so when you came in the front door it came flying down at you.Also have seen where they take a sledge hammer or regular one and go all throughout the property making holes in the wall so you have to replace all of the sheet rock.When you offered 6,000 what was their response??

Once I got the deed recorded, I went by the lot and hammered in a FSBO sign.

They can hammer you and pull licenses and permit shut you down and fine you per day your out  compliance. 

There's an old saying in the construction industry that refers to cost overruns:  "You never know what you have until you put your hammer in a wall". 

The riverfront neighborhoods in the Yacht Club (the oldest area of the Cape), for example, were hammered.
