Tax records, payment of taxes, MERS (Mortgage Electronic Registration System..or something like that) it doesn't always return a mortgage but sometimes it does, Courthousedirect.com to see what they have by way of liens and other civil filings, and also the Clerk of Courts - I search the property and the owner.Somewhere in between all this...I can't resist and I drive out to the location and see what I can see.

Hi all, hoping to get more insights on this to help out a friend. So my friend helped somebody get an apartment by putting himself on the lease (super duper mistake!!), and that person who actualy lived there stopped ...

The first and last owner/builder custom spec home project I insured resulted in a $400,000 construction defect claim with 11 months of litigation.

Hosmer, submitted a Petition for Order to Cease and Desist and Order to Show Cause Why Civil Penalties and Costs Should not be Imposed.

No civil or criminal liability shall be imposed upon a landlord for challenging a tenant’s claim of protected status.

However, I am a litigator and therefore have experience with judgments and the like.

I work for a litigation law firm, and based on my experience, when an LLC gets sued, the individual is also named a defendant 100% of the time. 

they are basement tenants. and they have not paid rent in 3 months and have many people living there who should not be. but i tried the civilized approach as you mentioned and they don't seam to care. but if the power is shut off in 2 months, due to lack of payment, then they will have to move out, and i wont get into legal trouble, i don't think, as long is i do not physically request it to be turned off?

I could never bring myself to purchase a completely finished home, then proceed to pay someone to rip out brand new flooring, cabinets, moulding, and replace them with something that's a different style or color, but of no higher quality than what the flipper had put in two months ago.I could buy some land and get a home custom built, but that's easily $50-100k in added costs, from expenses such as a site plan from a civil engineer, utility hookup fees, impact fees, grading, excavation, pouring a foundation, and so on.So the remaining option is to find a home needing TLC (but which is generally structurally sound) where much of the interior is going to be ripped out anyway, hire a contractor, and do the work.

Asset protection is a form of insurance in that regard - insurance against litigation.
