While taxes are higher this year than last, there are a number of POSITIVE factors (rent rate, vacancy rate, and turn over rate) that offset that very predictable annual expense.That said, I endorse DSM for investing overall but it comes down to your individual investing strategy.

That's what happens when cracked tub/shower traps drain out.I endorse Jims answer, not only because he knows his way around a rehab, but he is familiar with the type of construction - I am not familiar with concrete slab multi-level construction issues, except concrete is never easy to remove!!! 

Hello, I've experienced constant pain trying to get landlord insurance with added sinkhole endorsement.

@Brandon Sturgill If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are endorsing a buy and hold strategy over flipping for cash flow / income?

@Kayla Holbert(This explanation is not an endorsement of your idea)Essentially you are taking a personal line of credit in a very complicated manner.

What you get is a special endorsement on the title insurance.

This endorsement pays to cleanup and repaire the damaged caused when a sewer or drain backs up and causes liquids to damage the house.

I hope you win the gold, get a big endorsement deal and put the money into real estate to grow an empire! 

I would caution you that this is no way an endorsement and you should do all your due diligence on them like you would from someone you found via a Google search. 

I have all of my vehicles personally titled and my LLC gets the tax benefit of it's use.to answer your comments,1- you can get a "personal use" endorsement on a commercial policy2 if you title the car in a llc, most personal lines companies will not insure it3- biggest issue is there could be no coverage.
