If they have E&O insurance AND your can prove either negligence or fraud you might have a case.

I know it isn't a significant amount by many standards, but it will allow you to increase your portfolio and leverage what you have to build equity. 

I've got a curve ball in insurance on a property that was built 100+ years ago.  

Good Evening,I am wondering please, if I will have any trouble in Purchasing a Property listed on the HUD website as my Primary as my Primary Residence, IF the Property shows that it is " Insured " ?

Our standard contract in the DC states that when terminating a contract based on the inspection that the buyer must send the seller the home inspection report.

Lessons learned... and time to learn to set expectations and standards..

I have reached out to life insurance companies but they do not touch deals this small (at least the ones I spoke with do not) they like to be at $5-10,000,000 minimum. 

nope, these two actually have the documented ability to make the payments at a reasonable debt-to-income ratio.I'm coming up with ballpark $345k/mo PITI (my homeowner's insurance assumption might not be accurate, I didn't pull the actual property tax bill, and I don't know if there is an HOA so I left it at $0).

I don't think there's a scientific approach to learning this except for putting in a lot of efficient hours (like the 10,000 hour rule that Malcolm Gladwell discussed in his book), so it needs to be a combination of books, networking, speaking to local builders, Realtors, investors, attorneys, CPA's, insurance agents, and every other person needed in a real estate deal will get you where you need to go.
