How much money do you have to bring to the table? 

Late to the table.

Yes it will get the property out of your personal name, act as a deterrent, and get your to the negotiating table possibly faster to settle the claim.

Handing over your keys and responsibility of a home to someone who brought nothing to the table is super risky and if it falls through, it will be your responsibility again, and you won't have anything to cover yourself with.

I can't sleep at night feeling I may have left money on the table, so I do same day. 

Find a partner to fund the project, find a contractor, work out terms that are favorable for all parties, bring something special to the table and get higher rents because the property is nice an shiny. 

So what is it you bring to the table? 

I would be surprised if borrowers could meet the experience criteria, its terms that are real and available but reserved for elite rehabbers with a lot of completed projects.Typically, 15% - 35% of the purchase price (or total project cost depending on the lender) will have to be brought to the table by investor in order to close.Once the loan is closed it works like a construction loan.

If you have some money to bring to the table , see if you can get into a  Joint Venture for the first few flips and keep it small like light rehab etc  ..

.- If someone sues the tenant for monetary damages for some other reason, and they haven't done anything illegal, their Renters Insurance puts Insurance carrier money on the table and the landlord doesn't need to be involved.- The tenant's personal property is protected (less the deductible) while they are away from home, like in their car, or when traveling.
