That seems about as basic as you can get.Really, a debate is not a good indicator of the ability to govern.

I need to partner up with someone that has knowledge on the basics of creating the opportunities for a wholesale flip (New Jersey / Hudson CO.).

Numerous court cases have ruled the hiring party is responsible for injuries to independent contractor’s employees when the independent contractor did not have their own WC insurance.

Basically, as long as the lease is signed before the sale, it is protected by this Act.

---NOI is overstated because you are not accounting for expenses from the basics (paint, cleaning, etc.) to the expensive (roof, hvac, electrical, etc.).

The VA is basically a guarantor, much like insurance, to the lender.

If not, we stick to the basics.

Your best best is to get a copy of the lease (which should be a basic step in due diligence) and contact an attorney who specializes in tenant evictions in the area that the property is located so that he can review and advise you on the lease.

You are on the hook for that first contract, and while you may be able to insert verbiage (weasel clause) to "protect" you from responsibility, if you are taken to court, you may very well be held to a level of performance you are not expecting.

But you may well have to go to court.
