In 30+ years we've been sued 1x (legal blackmail over a tenant's drunken trip/fall) which the insurance company settled for $1,500.00).We've been using some privacy tactics to keep our names off the county recorder and the target off our backs.Further, we review our insurance coverage and premium annually, just to keep on top of any changes.As with all insurance, it seems to be a waste of money... until you NEED it!

I am a USA citizen and do not have much knowledge or trips to Dubai, but interested in investing in Dubai Real estate.

A trip to Detroit would be much cheaper than a mistake for a new investor
