Consumer protection law.The biggest tenant problems I have had are with tenants I inherited with low security deposits.  

Always been fascinated by RE but unfortunately my own misconceptions kept from taking action.

Many of us are still learning as we go but taking action is the most crucial step.

What can I do as a course of action? 

If additional insured is added for the buyer, the policy only covers the buyer for lawsuits brought against the buyer because of the contractors actions.

"I realize I need to be a more active investor with my rentals"Then take action.

If it is cash flowing by Q1 2016 then you need to fully understand what it is going to take to get thereThat means working backwards to list out every actionable step you need to take in order to get to your goal.I hope this helps.

It would interesting to see the stats of people who join BP with an interest in a particular idea but take no substantive action. 

(I use tools to do this.)And, you can take the pulse of a market every 6 months to gauge where it might be going by following job growth, migration trends, major employer actions, affordability, etc.I don't buy purely on appreciation potential. 

Land that is zoned residential or can be a home site will fall under Dodd-Frank, it's a consumer loan and you don't occupy the property.
