I also look for lawsuits and see what happened in them.

It protects both parties.Adding your property manager as an additional insured protects you and your property manager in case of a claim or lawsuit.

Cold calling and cold texting do not work and are two of things in the most jeopardy right now for lawsuits (texting has so many fines coming its way).

A law suit from a tenant can put your other assets in risk if they are inside that LLC. 

@Kenneth Jenkins you forgot to mention owners that expect a PMC to use contractors off Craigslist that are unlicensed, NOT insured and rarely have acceptable experience/skill - but, they quote the "best" price.These same owners will sue a PMC if using these types of contractors results in a tenant lawsuit.

Good morning John, im not aware of this class action lawsuit.

You can find SF properties that already have in law suites, garage units, etc, and now legally rent those, so it should increase the appraised value significantly.

You might be able to have it considered as a mother in law suite.

An experienced agent will list your property with the language, "no showings until an accepted offer", to avoid violating your tenant's rights to the peaceful enjoyment of their home - possibly resulting in their lack of cooperations and a lawsuit against you.

Landlords should not be listed as an "Additional Insured" as that implies they have insurable interest (they don't) and have authority to file claims or receive coverage (such as in a lawsuit) from the renters insurance.
