Hi Folks - Thought I'd make this a sticky in the "New Member Introductions" Forum. 

My recommendation would be to ask them if they're okay with you finding folks/quotes for the uncompleted work and getting them on the schedule (if it doesn't explicitly say it in the agreement).

I’ve met some good folks on BP and there is almost everything you are looking for on here.

Our counsel previously advised we are legally entitled to a greater amount including all lost rent until the home was re-signed, cost of lock-out, cost to clean up house, physical damage, ect.For context, this is a solid house in a decent neighborhood and we never had prior issues with the tenant. 

Compare those owners with younger owners who have higher incomes and more desire to build large reserves for the future with the older folks who won't see the future and you can see the problem.

@Austin Wolfffair point, but there are also tons of threads on BP from folks in HCOL areas who bought a property in Baltimore or Cleveland or Memphis and got absolutely crushed by deferred maintenance.of course it's possible to invest successfully from California but it just seems like a lot of new investors are very much not set up to do it property. 

Quote from @Fetch Phoenix: Hello folks, I'm new to the forums and thank you in advance for your thoughts.

They need to understand that the W-9 is the way that you can document the communication that confirms their business entitles structure as a corporation.

I agree with the op that for the most part the idea of privacy as an effective or meaningful concept in asset protection planning is a fallacy.But the idea that folks are of different “camps” in asset protection planning is unfortunate as it is not a useful dialogue IMHO.

There are a lot of folks on that facebook page meeting for the very first time.. and well that can lead to some folks being way to trusting.
