Personally, I would start hitting the education piece of real estate investing hard.

@James D.I can recommend 2 contractors I have personally use.Send me a DM.Goodluck

I personally never want to own a property where I know I will get a fight. 

Personally, I don't think you have a shot in hell of assigning the liability to the tile company.

So how about an estate where person passed?

Your best asset would a friendly real estate agent. find the right person who's willing to help you and educate you along the way. 

I have never personally had issues with insurance even in the valley for my clients now that I think of it. 

House hacking will also give you some personal "property management" experience.

I have several clients that 'self-manage' or have a full time private manager that has enabled them to offer their manager/cleaner (occasionally the same person or couple) double the hourly cleaning rate (compared to national PM companies) while reducing the booking/cleaning fees for tenants. 

I now have the EMD lender blowing up my phone saying he needs to get paid and if I dont pay him by a certain period or pay more money due to the length its been he is going to "blast" me on his social media and stating he is the "last person I want to mess with", is this allowed?
