If they are crossed it could cause *some* electrical problems.Laptop power supplies in particular are very tolerant of a wide range of voltages, often rated for 100-240v or more.

Far and away though, the best line of defense today for fund security are segregated, dual signatory FDIC insured accounts.

If not, you can go with nice vinyl, dual glazed retro-fits and they will probably run around $250 an opening including install if you can find a window person who won't rip you off.

If you are careful when you finish the space, you can make it dual use, so that if someone doesn't want to rent it out, it can just become a lower level living area.

New residential buildings that contain not more than two dwelling units shall have minimum 4 inch (102 mm) high numbers, with a minimum stroke width of 1/2 inch (13 mm), and shall be internally illuminated by means of a low voltage power source during the hours of darkness.

Dual control accounting, you stay involved.

(he had opened up the breaker and hardwired it because he needed a higher voltage/different shaped outlet than was in the unit)So, that was a real screw up in terms of my judgment and jumping to conclusions, but thankfully had no financial consequences.

Nowadays, it is common on certain listings like short sales, where the list agent will not or can not dual represent so in those cases, the tactic can not be used.I created another strategy to avoid the potential conflict of interest which allows me to gain a better chance of getting my offers accepted from list agents where they make more money without having to dual represent.

9) Dual agentsTo be fair, some of the things they published WERE fraudulent like bribing BPO agents or reverse staging, but thier misleading publications are going to have Realtors up in arms about short sale investors.
