I'd recommend getting the proper E/O insurance (both for yourself and the Broker), as well as a good amount of General Liability insurance for yourself - but this ends up being peanuts compared to what you would spend if someone wanted to take you to Court over a minor trifle... and had the evidence to prove you weren't licensed to perform the duties of a PM.

If you want to manage a new business that you have no experience in, sure start it up. either way you better pay market rent to yourself or else you won't realize any gains in your CRE--which is why we are all here in the first place.

(No info on taxes, insurance, etc....but assuming nothing odd there, the numbers seem OK.)

I've heard it's rarely a good idea to file a claim against insurance because it can raise rates or cause insurance companies not to renew the policy. 

Foreclosure proceedings have began against a property.

Just make sure you've got good insurance.

I will discuss this with my accountant in a few weeks and then decide how to proceed.  

hi Bp folks, I posted Something similar on another section, but with those that have experience in REI I would looooove to see how you would proceed with my current situation:Backstory: 1) 2011 - purchased a 2 family in up and coming Queens, NY area for $280K with only 3.5% down using a FHA loan ( first time home buyer).
