& outside liability (if you were to get in a car accident or something & it's your fault).

-Always plan for something to go wrong, and for some large, unexpected expense.

If someone sues the CA investor personally (assume due to a car accident) how the DST will protect all the properties it holds.Thanks in advance.

If it's a frothy area where prices have gone bonkers than it might make more sense to rent, but if you're ok in a secondary or tertiary area where prices might not have peaked then purchasing could be a good idea.Many of my landlord clients became landlords by accident.

Unlike you, it’s not going to get in a car accident or personally hurt someone, the cause of most large lawsuits.

Also, identify any major repairs that may need to be done in the next say 5 years, and make sure you are working towards building a reserve to cover them while also having a reserve for the unexpected.

How does one go about getting workmens comp/liability insurance for any issues or accidents that could happen onsite?

This is an interesting development but not that unexpected, given the political bent of the state of Colorado.

I've had three properties under contract but the all fell through due to unexpected problems.

First the liability policy on the property, second a personal umbrella policy (this protects your assets from anything stupid that you do personally like a car accident or something), third a commercial umbrella policy (this adds an addition coverage from any problems that arrive from your rental properties).
