Unfortunately, most focus on preparedness for when  claims arise rather than running their business in a manner that can prevent or reduce the likelihood they come to light.

I carry a very small, very light 8 shot 22 caliber revolver everywhere that's legal.

It sounds like most of your issues came to light during your due diligence.

Although only light "fixing"-- mostly cosmetic stuff. 

Likely just light cosmetic, fix ups, bath and kitchen remodel, landscaping. 

It's clear wholesalers aren't seen in the best of light, but many investors still use them.

If you have experience and it's a light rehab, it can be a different story.2.

If you are going to have trouble with sub to, it will from your insurance company, so I'd tread lightly for sure.

It's oftentimes the small details that get overlooked - light switches, lighting, trims, closet doors, and if applicable fireplace mantel...Also don't forget about picking a harmonious color palette!
