You'll see what areas you'll want to keep on investing in and where you'd rather stay away from.I talked to a few property managers prior to my visit and made appointments with them.  

I have a full business insurance policy for both contents (cost to replace) and complete liability plus another for workman's comp for freelancers I may hire on a one days basis.

Like the prior post mentions, it takes care of a lot and as my business grows, I feel this software will assist and make it easier.

I'm planning on getting an insurance policy to cover us and then keep doing business as usual.

It's my understanding that the wind/hail portion of damage is already covered under regular insurance policies with a much higher deductible, I believe, like 10%, so you'd be paying that first $20K yourself, anyway.

Hard assets like commodities and real estate serve as an insurance policy.  

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions about how we can go about reaching the proper individual to entertain a CA$H offer for the property AS IS but PRIOR to it going on the market??
