From what I read I'm not sure this topic rises to that level.Realtors agree to a Code of Ethics, a much broader perspective of items.

Just my perspective from seeing LOTS of landlord insurance policies.I see investors all the time trying to save a couple bucks and doing things that open them up to massive liability and property exposures.I see advice on this platform all the time coming from investors who say they just have an Umbrella policy and not any primary liability.

As with anyone, read the fine print and ask what fees they not only charge you, but what they charge tenants for application fees, etc... sometimes companies shift costs to tenants (to appear cheaper to owners) and it only hurts the process.

I recently wrote an article for the Property & Casualty insurance industry that might be a helpful piece speaking to WL: https://www.agencynation.com/i...Hope it can be a valuable perspective.

@Yair Gafni - Do you live in STL or just looking from an outside perspective? 

@Erik Sherburne,Yes you can, but get with your accountant to make sure it makes sense from a tax perspective.

@Matt Liu ,That is not recommended as you are just shifting where the income goes.

For a mortgage your payments change overtime from going towards mostly interest at the start to around midpoint of the length of your mortgage shift towards more principal and then towards the end mostly all principal .

@Ariel CohenI've used Buildium for around 5 years now and love it, however I'm nowhere near the scale of @Brian Adams so he will certainly have a different perspective/needs than the smaller operators.I believe I get your request and am thinking the limitation in Buildium would be that you will not be able to set up multiple layers of ownership and am not sure why you would want to?

If you see the joints separating or signs that they're shifting around, it means a bad repair.If you can get a wider picture, we may be able to determine if that cross brace should be there, if it should be scabbed or removed and if your can fix this yourself or should hire a structural engineer.
