If it is something that naturally occurred over the course of time then SafeCo should have underwritten for this.Lastly and most directly, your additional listed property should not suffer due to the experience of another property.I hope this helps and please contact me should you need guidance in properly submitting the claim or prepping the carrier.

Best I can advise you.For anyone else in Los Angeles who is a tenant in a rent controlled building, dealing with landlord evictions/problems, feel free to contact me regarding where you can go for rock solid, experienced lawyers with excellent track records in court vs landlords.

The opposite of proactive but it took me 5 years to learn NO property manager is going to give my tenants the same attention that I do - naturally so I guess...

@Brock Bonnicksen It isn’t uncommon to put in a lease a clause that covers sewer drains that requires tenants to pay the cost for stoppages except for those that are caused by defective plumbing, tree roots, or acts of nature

Wanted to see if anyone could provide advice/insight into educational mentorship programs (particularly virtual in nature)?

Before doing so, the heating unit, while old (30 years), was functioning fine and often—he kept the house in the 70s without issue.When he got back, he turned the heat on, and it worked for a couple days before he relayed that there wasn’t any warm air coming through the vents and thought he smelled natural gas.My questions: How would you proceed, if you were in this situation?

Those loans are not going to be cheap, and they often won't have the traditional 30-year amortization schedules or terms of the agency debt (Fannie and Freddie).I would not proceed unless I had the capital reserves to handle the unexpected, a good relationship with a lender who knew exactly what I was planning to do, and a rock star contractor who I trusted.

Then, I back-filled everything with sewer rock (which, again, had to be brought in by hand, one bucket at a time, through a window), and then I re-poured the slab and re-finished the basement.THEN, I dug a pit along the exterior of the house: 10’ x 20’, and about 10’ deep.

You rock and seem to know what you're doing, few of us.

Once you start showing up to do the little extra things, tenants will take advantage of your good nature and continue to call for every little thing that they could do themselves.I see no issue in providing the window insulator kits, but try to find the balance.
