If that person were to get hurt somehow and then expect you to pay the medical bills or become disgruntled in some way it is just a phone call to DOR, OSHA or L&I. 

If a person wants a different outcome, they usually do something different.

Yes, as I'm doing more research, I'm finding that I would prefer to invest in markets that I know personally, so as not to rely on external variables completely.

We actually just had several go in on Livingston ave on the west side where I'd not normally think would be desirable, but they look great and really brought the block up.So I'm a huge fan personally from seeing them go up in my own area.  

I would be fine with a $10k non-refundable retainer and $500/hr. personally.

Affordability for the average person is essential, in my opinion. 

It’s a balancing act of controlling costs while also controlling risk of personal injury to your tenants and property visitors as well as maintaining goodwill with all involved at the properties. 

The properties in OK, which are roughly 30-40% smaller than my personal residence are only about $400-$600 cheaper than my FL insurance.

I personally recommend checking Columbus OH - lots of job growth, population growth, and major companies moving and developing here.

I personally target Lauderdale, Limestone, Morgan, and Madison Counties.
