@Brandon Gamblin      There could be a second mortgage, (home equity line of credit) or a mechanics lien (not paying a contractor) or a tax lien (municipality).

Protective mechanism I suppose.

Lock in your insurance rates as long as possible then I would even figure out some sort of swap mechanism or short mechanism for companies that will suffer as a result of hurricane losses - you can buy leaps once you identify a company that will suffer in the event of a catastrophe.

The fact that folks in the business call it leverage, rather than calling it debt, is a little telling by itself: debt = bad, leverage = good*...supposedly.I'm a mechanical engineer, so when I think about debt/leverage, just remember that the fulcrum can move in these markets.

The first is the design of the elevations, floor plan, roof, ceilings, and location of mechanicals, etc.

The dwelling has beenadequately maintained and requires only minimal repairs to building components/mechanical systems and cosmetic repairs.

I enjoy reading about mysteries and archeological finds, long walks in the park relaxes me, although I'm not mechanically inclined I found plans that converts a gasoline powered V8 to an air engine and would love to give it a try.

Newer roof, updated mechanicals, and property has been required.

On the one hand, there is a mechanism to keep the neighborhood from getting junkie.

I'm a mechanical engineer and have started out on venturing on real estate investing as a means of replacing my income.
