We have to take these precautions primarily because these cases are generally matters of public record.

All in all, it pays to take extra precautions when entering into a seller financing deal to protect yourself.

Take a mask as a precaution, see if anyone on the JSO will help you. 

I had this question come in from a prospective tenant once and I simply told him that he needs to follow proper safety precautions just as if it were his own home.

Assuming I take the proper legal precautions and lend to someone with a solid track record of flipping quick and profitably, this seems like a no brainer as it would return 20-30% annually.  

In addition, your coverage may also require that certain precautions be taken, such as fencing the pool with a self-locking gate, providing and maintaining safety equipment on the premises such as life preservers, flotation ropes, etc.

Going forward, you should be meticulous about maintenance.After you've taken those precautions, include some documentation with your insurance application and ask your broker to reference it in his/her narrative regarding the risk.

Extra precautions will need to be made if you go down that route.

@Brandon Schlichter - as an extra precaution, we use a separate account ONLY for receiving these payments.  

One last precaution, if you are going to treat yourself first be sure you are dealing with BedBugs, and not BatBugs; they are related, and appear to be the same to the untrained eye.
