@Kyle FitchI'd recommended attending local RE meet ups in the Detroit area.

While most who post about asset protection on BiggerPockets are focused on how to remain anonymous and how to prepare for conflict and liability, the billionaires are out there proactively preventing the liability events from occurring in the first place.

In any event, good luck to everyone!!!  

Look in the Forum section for Events and Meetups.

Instead, there should be dollar amounts assigned to specific events, i.e. demolition complete with full haul off, floors broom cleaned, no nails left in studs or subfloors $1,500.Plumbing rough in complete and rough in inspection passed: $4000Final plumbing completed $5000I am clearly making up dollar amounts, but look for these types of bids on large projects.  

A strong contract will scare away any shotty contractors, and also protect you in the event that the contractor disappears in the night. 

The above doesn’t allow any Life events occurring that you don’t already have covered financially.The above is your same lifestyle today.  

Has anyone tried to operate a business on a plot of land with minimal development until it builds revenue for a structure (flea-market, private park, outdoor event venue, etc)?

Do look up REIA meetings in your area and start attending them.

Due to a serious of misfortunate events I am in default now.
