On the other hand, they can be used as a defensive tactic to keep adjacent properties from developing their real estate higher.

My guess would be that if a DF defense like the above was raised in the context of a foreclosure it would be treated like a RESPA or TILA violation which would not be a valid defense.

Your best defense has been referenced by some posters above, by being there as much as possible or having someone else fill that role for you. 

Well to my defense I made sure to be very open regarding the process to my seller.

Defense is 19%.

@James Mc Ree Thank you for my defense.  

My name is Everon Lindsay I am currently an engineer for a defense contractor.  

All that to say that the doom and gloom predictions smells like opportunity and playing defense looks like a much better risk adjusted option than chasing more returns.

When it comes to you being defended in a lawsuit, you will have the same defense as an Additional Insured as you would as the Named insured.Lastly, the limit of liability insurance is more a reflection of your risk tolerance, but I can tell you $1M on a single family is what most investors carry.

Either way, as long as the economy is moving and we are spending on defense then this area will be pretty stable.Good luck.
