I ran into an issue with insurance on one of my properties.House built in 1880, 5 units with another in a semi-detached house that has its own address.Insurance before purchase was a bear but I finally got Auto-owners to cover it.A year later they reviewed it and oops your electrical is not up to code and now I have to spend another $30k to fix it or they drop me.If it was only 4 units then it was likely that Foremost would have covered it with a rider.

Unless I am missing something, this case does not support your opinion as I understand it.Likewise, the statute you reference has no bearing on the issue.Finally, the Introduction of the treatise states:When would parties entering a contract want performance to be specifically required, and when would they prefer payment of money damages to be the remedy for breach?

Of course, it could be that every one of my properties is priced below market (I don't believe this to be the case) or I'm just so charming and charismatic that appraisers can't bear to let me down (I know for certain that this isn't the case :D).It's also possible that my market is different than other markets or that appraisers in my market are different than other appraisers.

, 3) go to an auction in advance of one you want to bid in (I didn't have the chance, since Franklin County only does this once a year, and 4) pray the properties you want are at the end of the list so you have time to get your bearings before it really matters!!
