I have a precaution for you.

I'll be sure to spell out the precautions you've spelled out so that he doesn't cause any structural problems by his digging. 

Or, any precautions I should take regarding the bank deposit solution?

Now, my tenant is threatening an early exit from the lease  if we want granite--which is intended as a precaution for her health.  

When they decided to unplug the freezer, it would appear that they may not have taken the proper precautions to minimize dampness, which seems to put some of the responsibility on them.I'm also not super sure what if any responsibility should be ascribed to the repairman.

What things should I do before I lend someone money for a flip? What paperwork should be filled out or filed to make it binding/legal or to protect myself against loosing it all with no recourse? What's a typical ROI ...

@Bryan Otteson ok so it's an extra precaution.

maintenance routine is part precaution and seasonal stuff like this needs should be included in that, but age and type of service, and how may units are involved are also a consideration.Furnace for me is top concern, so that's done in late Sept,, A/C I used window units so not my issue. 

City said I need to schedule a "concept review meeting" to make sure the project meets their requirements in terms of water, fire precautions, easements, etc.In this tight market, buyers squeezed out of the single family detached market might see a half duplex with private yard as a decent option.

If I do, what precautions should I take, like pulling a permit or letting my insurance know?
