Engineered i would assume has some degree of wood in it, hence some degree of damage occurred

Recently though we have taken a different approach here on the island and are finding quite an opportunity exists with some new zoning changes that have occurred here in Nanaimo.

I've been fortunate that nothing has occured at my houses "yet", but lets say a fire happened and I had to pay my insurance deductible, a tenant suddenly moves out of another house I have and takes all the appliances and ruined the carpet, etc.

We have accepted that this will occur, and stopped frequent inspections, knowing we will need to spend money to renovate when they leave anyway.

these 3 houses are quite old were probably built before zoning ever occurred in Thermopolis. 

Maybe you were joking, but putting someone else's animal in harm's way over a property seems like that person shouldn't own animals.

I understand he is not in the best situation and you are trying to help him out, but I would never put myself in a situation that could have the chance to harm myself.

My concern is not that she wants to approve the deals, it's that with limited RE knowledge and her own agent she would do more harm than good in this partnership.

The advantage to learning how to do it yourself is that you gain an appreciation for the relationship of documents and the underlying opportunities that can occur.

I'm not a lawyer, so no legal advice, and anyone who checks that reference in the future will hear your landlord had to file for eviction, which could harm you in the future.
