I'm just looking for a lever.Would you consider such a measure, or would you come at it from a different angle. 

In fact, I'll probably under leverage and take a lower cap rate (5-6%)  just to give me some buffer and safety for my first deal.

Kind of a safety net in my brain.Bought and rehabbed 80+ more SFR's without leverage. 

I thought of forming an LLC (as a protective measure) and using the home equity option (offered by family) to purchase and doing either a Brrr or flip to get started.

I personally would never rent out a unit with a single exit or other serious safety issue, but what if you make it safe but it is still not a zoned unit?

See info below:The EPA recommends a follow-up measurement be used to confirm whether radon levels are high enough to warrant mitigation.

First, Cash on Cash Return is only measured in the first year of ownership.Second, you can't forecast anything financial that isn't fixed 5, 10, 15 years from now...and no matter what the financial market is doing.Third, just because there might be a downturn, doesn't mean rents will go down. 

However, listing agent ALWAYS owes fiduciary duty to his/her client and working in the sellers best interests....while to a buyer he owes only to be honest and disclose only safety issues, nothing else. 

@Ashley SliwaYour story is very similar to many of us on BP. 1st of all, I think the safety of a full-time W2 job, especially such an important one, is invaluable.

Thanks for all these ideas, i was very worried...not inly for the safety of the tenants, but also for when i have to sell....
