I originally used $1,800 as my insurance placeholder during underwriting for this first property (assuming for a commercial style policy), so I’ll still be safe cash flow/return-wise.

If I had to do it over again, I would hire an attorney to be safe.

I will say we generally have no trouble keeping ours full and we focus on having nice, clean, safe spaces.

If the house isn’t safe to live in because of damage, here’s what you’ll need to do.

But the fact is, in the long term, if you own property then your money has a constant and safe return on investment.In a bear market, investors worry about the value of their investments.

For time horizons of 5 years or less, I usually prefer something safe like a HYSA or money-market fund.

With a requirement to hold and rent to Section-8 for 5 years upon completion.Much safer loan, much more likely to house these people in safe sanitary conditions (over the long haul).Just my 2 cents.

I use the term safe harbor - meaning if there ever is issues with it then the attorney you drafted it is gonna have to defend it.

Until then, you have a duty to honor your parents so long as you can legally and safely do so. 

The neighbors and children might not be safe with him around, it would not be worth the risk to me.
