It just doesn't make sense to spend you valuable time on the problems (both in real estate and in life).Look at all the people that waste years and years of their lives, suing people over a deal that didn't go their way.

Besides what the media tells you, you're not better then most people in things that really matter for a happy life.

OTH, if someone doesn't pay miuch attention to their business, they operate in a care free manner, are often negligent in other aspects of life, then doing all you can do to hide out might be a good way to go.This public liability razz is way over hiped IMO and insurance is your best solution.Hey, not implying our OP is paranoid, I know he has good reason to be concerned from other posts, but don't take legal advice from a CPA and don't ask your attorney to set up your accounting systems.

I'm not big on most designations, especially those for Realtors, the best one is "Life Time Member Million Dollar Round Table" for a residential agent.

A drug conviction can destroy the kid's life, government assistance, housing, tuition, acceptance to colleges, holding any public office, gun permits or possession of a firearm, voting in some states, employment applications and the list goes on.

Well we don't have a health plan right now, so I guess I should get one.

As pointed out, again, a subject to means there is an existing lien and then you say the property is free and clear.You must be very young to think this lady is going to die any time because she is 70, LOL, she could out live you, she could easily live (not knowing her health issues, but in general) to 90, 95 or longer!

The successful people I know and I include myself look at success as a mixture of several aspects of life, not just the ability to make money.

In many areas ED is used for condemnded properties, at what point is a property so unmaintained that it presents a true health or safety issue to the public and government can take it and do what it will?

Historically speaking (at least over the course of my 33 year life), anything under 7 percent is not too bad, although right now today that would be terrible.
