How do you protect your real estate investments if you didn't initially purchase your property under your business?

However, I've heard this same nightmare scenario from numerous investors in a local REIA.It's a really stupid law meant to protect sub-contractors from getting screwed but it just screws someone else, the investor who already paid enough to pay everyone, instead of the person that the sub-contractor should go after... the GC.And yeah, in California, it's a safe bet to bet that a permit is required for just about anything.

Next I would focus on getting a more powerful lease that will protect you, the standard NJ realtors lease is very weak.

When we had our granite countertop installed the installers put sticky plastic down to “protect” the floors, and when it was removed it ripped the clear coat clean off in the areas my daughter had been playing with the air pockets.

No handle, just your name unless your in witness protection program.
