First and foremost I want a GC who doesn't lie through his teeth to win a job bid or prevent me from firing him for sloppy work and poor leadership of his work crew.I want a person who says he is licensed,bonded,and fully insured to bring me physical proof of said items instead of challenging me,"Don't you trust me pal?".

The problem is the backyard; there is a small goldfish pond and creek that is preventing people from putting in offers.

Not that me physically being there will actually prevent anything but still.

Screening tenants is the single most important thing a landlord needs to do in order to prevent an extremely costly eviction or expensive damage to their homes.  

My husband and I have been in real estate since 2005 and it's been an exciting both up and downs, but in spite of the downs they are learning and growth experiences of knowledge stored away for prevention of the next unknown challenge. 

I've been discussing this issue in details for a while as we're in the middle of fighting to prevent passing such a law in Toledo. 

I have a back door of a rental unit that has a large glass section (as seen below); and I wonder if I am potentially liable on either side if...1) Someone just breaks the glass, reaches in, easily unlocks the deadbolt from the other side, opens the door, walks in - and cleans out the place...2) Or to prevent this, I put a deadbolt on the door that is keyed on both sides, but then there's a fire and the door cannot be opened for escape without a key!

If you are attempting to rehab into a conventional loan backed by Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac then they have policies in place that prevent you from refinancing as quickly as you can turn them.

If there any 90 or 180 day rule that prevents the sale of a flipped home to a buyer trying to get an FHA or conventional loan ?

I had a team in place ready to tackle this property to prevent any further damage once residents were allowed to return.
