The first pillar is avoiding unnecessary and risky activities (don't drink and drive, insurance generally won’t cover your poor decisions) and take good care of your investments (maintain your property, etc) - these simple steps will help you prevent lawsuits before they even occur.

What is a good asset mix that I should have as I save for my first duplex purchase?

We had a Playstation (first generation) get stolen of all things, countless board games, and even an expensive salad/mixing bowl that was my buddy's wedding present was outside as a makeshift ashtray.

We own 10 properties free-and-clear in Cleveland Ohio, and we would like to do a Fannie/Freddie cash-out refinance on all 10 at once.The properties are a mix of single and multi-family homes, totalling 21 rental units, and the seasoning period comes to an end in mid-september.

Should it be one team per location or keep the properties and team state specific, or a mix? 

We have a pitbull mix and two cats.

Hi Mark I'm currently doing same as you with a mixed res/comm property.
