Every property manager on Earth (if they know what they are doing) would require you to add them as additional insured.

In the meantime, while you are reading, listening and learning - get down to a scorched earth budget.  

But, why on earth have you had a property under rehab for over 5 months with no power?

@Steve Vaughan  your a student of the STeven Vaughan scorched earth policy.. .good job understanding that you NEED some MONEY to make Money in real estate.you may want to get a money partner...

If YOU don't want to wait around for months/years for her Lender to decide whether your low-ball Offer is acceptable - why on earth would your end-Buyer?

If you look up "Buyers List" in the search slot above, you'll find hundreds of threads on the subject.Because this property is one that YOU would buy if you could afford it (otherwise, why on earth would you put it under contract?)

Eitherway im glad to hear you're all in agreement, as we never got a key, how on earth can we be responsible.

first, save money like it's scorched earth second, use the BRRRR method when possible. last house I bought for 55k, it appraised for 115k, I pulled cash out (plus the money I was stacking away in the meantime) to buy another house for 68k all-in.
