I would say $3k doesn't sound too far off, adverse to what others are saying.

For example, the period will not run if the owner of the servient estate is suffering under a legal disability such as infancy or insanity or is the ward of an estate when the adverse use begins.

As a dual agent, a real estate agent and brokerage represent two clients whose interests are, or at times could be, different or adverse.

Short of a perpetual easement, a letter agreement granting permission to the neighbor to install and maintain the fence would negate a future adverse possession claim.

Obviously we want the property in an LLC to reduce tenant lawsuit liability etc, and my wife is especially aware since she is a doctor and lawsuits could adversely affect her career.  

I am risk adverse and while I have some cash I don't want to feel like i am going to Vegas.

Are you receiving Adverse Action notices?

I have a real estate agent [my son], I have a relationship with someone knowledgeable in construction who is willing [for a fee] to come out and give do pre-purchase inspections, I have a few places to consider [more than a few].What I don't have at the moment is the How I'm Going to Fund my first property.My husband [a bit more risk adverse than I] thinks I need to work that out before looking at places.  

He talked about being risk adverse and finding your niche.

They do not need the money but you do or adverse consequences might happen impacting you greatly.
