I find it interesting that many pundits in the media are always clamoring to invest in the latest and greatest company, and how few of those same people are discussing the merits of commercial property ownership.

The lawsuits for wrongful death, civil liabilities and other media attention will consume most of your waking hours for a couple of years if it was proven you failed to maintain the property and contributed to the death of one or more individuals.It won't matter if you have great insurance, an LLC or whatever asset protection plan the latest guru sold you.

Basically stay busy with that and social media like here.
