In either case, typical levels of premises liability coverage are $100K, $300K, $500K, $1 Million, $2 Million... you can get higher liability limits than that (via an umbrella that jumps in to assist once the underlying liability limit is exhausted), but typically most investors have  at least $1 Million per unit. 

Would exhaust 20K on this one, and increase net per month profit by about 1K to roughly 2500-3000/month net for my entire portfolio.Option 2) I have two separate doubles as an option (on in 40s, one in 60s) B to B- areas and B to B- properties, both would net $500-600/month.

@Kathleen Miles As long as you make sure that there is no legal language barring you from assigning the contract for cash, and you make sure that you do proper, exhaustive due diligence than you have nothing to worry about.  

Because that dryer exhaust is so high on the wall, I'm going to guess that some stackable unit was in there.

Unless you can find comparable rates to traditional 30 year financing, I would keep creative financing in your back pocket until you have exhausted your traditional financing means.

And they make a big production about signing in bidders, issuing bidder numbers, running multiple computers and a projector, reading all the legalese in exhaustive detail, having an actual fast talking auctioneer (who everyone ignores).

After my wife and I had exhausted our resources and borrowing limits, I've decided to take on two partners in the last 1.5 years.

For example, maybe the house is just dirty, and spending $200 for a cleaning crew will be just as effective of a solution than dropping the price $5000.But, of course, once you've exhausted doing all the things that are cheap/easy to change, it then starts to boil down to just price...

What do you do when you have exhausted the amount of bank loans you can get and a balloon payoff is coming due?

I do not necessarily want to do the legwork that I am already paying the title company to do but I am curious to know if title companies take it upon themselves to exhaustively and systematically check for every issue that they can reasonably uncover or do they do the minimum and tack on exceptions.On the flip side, at least for me, I like to know what is going on behind the curtain anyway because the knowledge may come in handy down the road.
