We've used a DWIP (dishwasher inner protection pan) for years.

While I’m working on the improvements, how can I protect our investment from theft of appliances or materials?

I would think but I will check that your identity is somewhat protected by the board. to mitigate that problem. 2.

I am needing a "tax man" that can he me protect me from the IRS and take he best advantage of the tax code.

That way it gets it into the court system and protects your interests moving forward.

Would you protect brokers / consultants with a fee agreement, and what would you include?

Check out their work, check their references, and make sure when you hire a contractor, you get EVERYTHING in writing to protect you both.

I would have just trusted your gut at the beginning and said no, you don't need a reason when it's not a protected class you are denying.

If anyone is familiar with PA lending laws or has any advice on a creative situation that is legal, straightforward, keeps both parties protected and requires the least amount of effort to the funder, I would be very grateful.
