Since Curt had his name thrown under the bus, I will come to his defense.

Much of your self-defense will rely on 'attitude' and 'posturing'.

The problem is if the market is heading down sold comparables may mis lead as to the value being to high.Someithing to keep in mind is a good hard money lender or partner can be your final line of defense.

Thus it isn't hard to see how a non-defensive investor could LOSE money if the buyer wanted to press things.

If you're truly concerned about a post apocalyptic situation, use it to buy a piece of defensible land, guns, ammo, and canned food.

The insurance company ended up giving me a defense attorney, but would not cover any liability.

My practice is criminal defense, but anticipating problems I am learning about landlord/tenant law and evictions.Any help is appreciated!

This liability policy is really to protect me, however, if something really bad were to happen on this property, this insurance would be utilized in a defense, which would also protect the owner of the home.

There is usually very limited defenses in most states for non-payment of rent.!

In my defense it was less then 20k.
