It's pretty sweet and free for me.I also have some nice auto messages I use to do the initial "screen" to save my time from the tire kickers and the "is it still available" annoyers.

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

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.

Perhaps they would do better by using an auto-pay method.

I never have late payments, my credit score is 730ish and I went to apply for an auto loan but was denied.

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

For the auto loan my bank provided a payoff letter and evidence of the transactions. 

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

Of course, its up to the OP to decide what is right for her.Part of the problem is an Umbrella is probably the most misunderstood policy in the forums.  9 times out of 10 non-insurance people will post an interpretation that is incorrect.Investors use/need an Umbrella to simply have Liability limits higher than what their General Liability policy can provide (max is usually $1M) over their rentals.If you had a contracting business, that Umbrella can extend higher limits over your commercial Auto, Work Comp, business locations, your product liability, etc.A Personal Umbrella can go over your Home, Auto, rentals, Boat, recreational, etc.
