agree to let them out of the lease, no strings attachedYou can do this in a calm and professional way.....this is business, not personal.Landlords cant function out of fear that a tenant will intentionally damage the unit.... that is a risk, but you cant be held hostage by that fear.Professionally state that the tenant signed the lease with the unti "as is".....and if they feel its uninhabitable, you will gladly let them out of the lease, no strings attached and the deposit will be refunded in full if the unit is returned in move in conditionDO NOT GIVE INTO THIS DEMAND....you will regret it

Hence the need to protect your assets from law suits which is the function of the umbrella,a coverage.  

Additionally, the HML approved the loan based on the value of retirement funds, and other investment assets, my point here is that my HML lender wasn't just using the investment property to back the loan, it was overall financial health in combination with the value in the investment property.

The result was a reduction in the overall taxes paid in 2001 for tax year 2000.In 2001 I asked that the three parcels be combined.

We’d like to achieve this with a combination of rental properties for cash flow (BARRRR strat) and flipping later.We currently own a 3 bed 2 1/2 bath in SE Portland outright.

Beginning in 2017, this fee will be eligible to be collected in the month of August.A $3.61 monthly surcharge may be collected by the landlord for the Systematic Code Enforcement Program (SCEP) fee.A $3.00 surcharge may be added to the rent for the installation and cost for a hard-wired smoke detector or a combination smoke/carbon monoxide detector.Meaning, if you pay for utilties, you can add 1% of rent per year, I believe up to 5%.

But in combination with @Brian Burke's advice will minimize the chances of you investing with a Madoff-type syndicator.

I’ve seen many very complex asset protection strategies, but often times it’s about breaking things down to what is most functional - if your plan is too complex and you start making mistakes, then you aren’t really doing yourself any favors… 

If you do, or could do the management yourself, sell all these and buy something very close to home.Also, if you're in healthcare, consider combining real estate with what you already know, healthcare. 

What I personally like about Detroit is:1) Affordability compared to LA - I can buy 5-6 good houses (or a combination of 2 family flats etc) for the price of 1 here.
