Unfortunately, that is too granular for OOS investors.So, we recommend investing via City of Detroit Neighborhoods.

You could find an attorney or agent - recommend negotiating a flat fee with either of them as pretty standard docs.

Then the contractor who did the install will say 'That's not my fault, they broke one of the lines' or 'it's a POS system from Amazon what did you expect, call the manufacturer', or 'I just installed it, I didn't warranty it', etc (especially if the tenant bought it and the contractor is just installing it)My thinking is if the owner approves/recommends the contractor to do the work, it's then their responsibility to make sure it's done right, and their liability thereafter because it's their property after all.

I wouldn't recommend taking on a HELOC on your primary unless you're going to do a fix and flip, BRRRR, or think you can get your money back very quickly on a short-term rental. 

If its a 1 car garage, id just recommend storage and thats it. 

Not bad for an extra $1,000,000 in coverage.Discuss with your Insurance agent and Attorney the recommendations on if the $500,000 limit is enough.  

I always recommend that anyone getting started attend in person meet ups.

I would say that I recommend getting an umbrella policy just to cover yourself for liability purposes/reasons. 

Is there a particular one you recommend?

However, if you're really looking to grow that money, this isn't something I would recommend as it's not expected that these lots have a ton of upside in the near future.
