I am currently a self employed home inspector, plus I own a duplex and a 4-plex as rentals and have one home that I rehabbed and sold on a note.

And Max, good idea on Googling the employer.

I have heard about court rulings that say that the tenant then becomes your employee and you have to have all the insurance and pay the taxes for them as an employer would.

During tournaments & events, fairness & logic would be employed to achieve a harmonious arrangement.The golf course is already in operation and has been for several years.The $1M budget is accurate and feasible.

He made most of the income(of course), she has all the kids(of course), she gets some child support and is looking for full time employment, though supposly has help from parents etc to make rent if needed.

I can ask a simple question are they employed and they usually tell me where and how long.

Depends on the details...I'm not an attorney, and certainly not a workers comp attorney, but if it's determined that the work he did for the guy constituted an employer/employee relationship, he'd likely be entitled to WC benefits under the employer's insurance. 

@Jeff Trevarthen $100k in Indianapolis will buy a very nice home that rents for $1100+We also are a landlord friendly State and have [relatively] low taxes.Indy is a strong city with lots of employment and a steady growth in population and property values.Personally, I would buy two $50k homes that rent for $800 instead of one home that rents for $1100 with the $100k...

While you'll need to employ or partner with those who hold proper licenses, if your core strengths lie in running a construction type business and you can bring a competitive advantage to the business, there's no reason you shouldn't do it.In my experience, the best restauranteurs are not chefs and the best car manufactures aren't run by guys who have won the Indy 500...

Just because you're topped out with your current employer doesn't mean you would be with another employeer.
