Within the last 2-3 years, real estate investing has sparked a big interest in me and I know this is one of the main routes I want to pursue to make a living.

It does not cover all types of liability or most landlord-tenant issues--that’s where a proper asset protection structure comes in.Integrity is also great, and is certainly an element of how you do your part to keep your asset protection plan effective.

@Dylan LeBlanc yes those are the two main options

Mainly to do a live-in flip and rent during as well as after.

My main focus of area at this point would be rural areas.

When downturn starts to happen they put on the brakes.These days I mainly focus on existing properties.

The main thing is that you are taking action.

@Timmy Fritz I think the main issue is identifying what your mother is interested in gaining from the sale.

I would say it comes down to what is in your lease.My lease says they are responsible for the remainder of their lease or until I have it rerented.My lease also says if they have pest problems during the first 30 days I will take care of it, beyond that they are responsible because I can't control how clean they keep their place and leaving out food attacks critters.Will their deposit cover the last month and is their any damage or is it mainly just a cleaning issue?

rents on topsham maine are bit all over map, generally higher than lisbon lewiston but not much lower than Brunswick if inside rt 295 line closer to downtown and river. zillow isnt used much as CL. if you rent section 8 or vouchers look to add price of landlord paid heating, snow ice removal, salt sanding,  which this season has been massive.
