My short term goals for this year are to continue being great at my job, find roommates, save money, and coach basketball.

State Farm recommends tenants have at least $100K in liability coverage but to adjust that value up if you regularly host people at the house, or have things like pools, dogs, basketball hoops, etc. 

Lead PaintLead PipesAsbestosSurprise Asbestos (in places you never thought they would not put it, such as beneath the basketball court wooden floor).ADA (and how many stair steps is it up to the office)County GrantsCity GrantsState GrantsFederal GrantsProperty Tax abatementsExtra unneeded land disposal or conversion (will they re-zone to allow you to build a Liquor Store, pawn shop, buy here pay here appliances, or buy here pay here rims store), or must it be playground and teachers parking forever.) 

I had been a weekend warrior landlord for a few years and flipped 1 house the year before when I committed to taking this leap.

@Lisa Williams looking to play basketball!

I would weekend warrior it until its livable.

Okay you keyboard lawyer warriors...just looking for some thoughts on the following scenario regarding delayed refund of earnest money.Original contract language about earnest money is as follows (this is in Illinois): "The assignment fee is refundable should assignee decide not to move forward during due diligence.

I eventually want to have a few rentals, but fix and flips are what I really want to focus on and I hope to graduate to the commercial level.I also coach youth basketball, another passion of mine along with real estate investing.
