We evicted a family a few years ago and the housing court told the tenants about the statue and warned them against damaging or stealing anything.

Remember - this house has significant foundation problems (no one is playing marbles there) so those costs will have to be included in my rehab budget. 

So for me personally I could give a crap of what an attorney tells me they win either way and they are not the law.. they just practice law and give there opinion as they see it or interpret the statues of the state. 

@Guy Gimenez  The reason I recall the dual action statues in Texas is back in the mid 80's when things were not so hot in Texas I was getting clients that were moving to CA... and remember them talking about having to hold on to their houses because the banks had threaten to sue for deficiency...

Colonial Marble & Granite in King of Prussia or Tropical Stone in Malvern (just discovered them last week) for counters.As for tile and flooring, I almost always go with Lowe's, as you can stack discounted gift cards and 10% off coupons that you can buy online.Welcome back to PA!

You don't buy a house in a neighborhood of $150k homes, then rehab it with hand scraped hardwoods, granite counters, frameless shower doors and tumbled marble backsplashes.  

I looked up Ohio statues in this link - under Implied Agency section answer #1 and #2 seem to point that it's the same or close in Ohio as it is in Wisconsin.http://www.ohiorealtors.com/legal/agency/agency_faqs.aspx#Anchor-Type-55941Let me know if you need an agent in Ohio - is there a particular area in Ohio? 

@Hope JohnstonMostly: "It depends"Check with your local statues to see if you are allowed to operate a Property Management company under the various types of entities you are looking into.  

My dads real estate attorney  had a little statue of a Trier of fact and the caption under it was  SUE the BASTARD  LOL.. anyone can sue anyone but can you win.. ???  

You wouldn't put marble countertops in a rental, for example.
