You state your name, your relationship to the property, and your reason for filing suit (violation of lease/non-payment of rent). 

For asset protection I am currently researching  the following:        Nevis in the Eastern Carribean, because if someone decides to file a suit against you they must post a fee of $100,000 plus it keeps your officers protected and assets too. 

Should I follow suit, put the funds into a retirement account, and THEN invest in real estate?

I am sure the hour or two you pay for a consultation can save you thousands in a potential law suite.

I also thing you could go with a grey colour for the trim, that would give it a modern look.

In the event there is a law suit that goes beyond your insurance coverage they could go after your properties including your personal assets. 

As such, I firmly stand in the camp that newbie investors are better suited with PL's to learn about the industry than NPL's.  

Visit Property Management companies - ask them about there business - offer to give them landlord referrals (the ones you find at rent court) - ask them questions about management.Look at 50 houses in your - make no offers - just keep real good notes and understand values.Talk to owners of auction companies - tell them you'd like to learn the business - that you'd like to give them referrals - ask for referral fees - see if one of them will train you.Read the legal newspapers - tax lien - foreclosures - auctions - partition suits - this is where you will find the RIGHT STUFF.I would suggest REIA's in your area - but I won't - many of those members are there to try to learn what you think you need - at a very high cost.

I think agents who wholesale are stepping further into that grey area vs someone who does not hold a license. 

If the noise is normal living noise you may not make the complaintent happy no matter what you do they may not be suited to community living.
