All Contractors are subject to the lender’s determination that the contractors are qualified and experienced, have all appropriate credentials required by the state, are financially able to perform the duties necessary to complete the renovation work in a timely manner, and agree to indemnify the borrower for all property losses or damages caused by its employees or subcontractors.Multiple Specialized Contractors: Since this is a limited repair/renovation program, no General Contractor is required.

What are the strategies I can use to speed up this snow balling effect? 

I want to know objectively how effective Bob Diamond's Overages Program is?

With this last storm to hit Massachusetts, my owner occupied 2 family rental took some damage.  

Saying I did (extreme damage to the property and regardless to the terms of the note and mortgage I should be held liable personally, pay attorney fees, and any amount that was still owed after the foreclosure sell.

ThanksYou effectively have an economic loss, but not a tax loss.

My biggest tenant damage was from a 23 year old recent college graduate with over a 700 fico who always paid the rent on time.

The shed will have zero effect on the rent price.

I noticed that a lot of the vacant properties are quickly being snatched up and I am seeing more rehab activity in the area than I have ever seen.I have a good friend who has approx. 5 properties in the Linden area (not sure which part of Linden other than off Hudson) and she is back to 100% occupancy (her longest vacancy was 3 months and this was due to some damage from the prior tenant) but she has told me she has great cash flow from all of them.  

I guess a few questions that come to mind...1) What percent of the time that the house is occupied do they leave without doing intentional damage?
