An instance like this depending on the damage could go well above the liability limits of a regular rental policy.One we had recently actually.

In Southern Maryland, in a lot of instances, there are hidden costs of a well or septic system replacement that also needs to be accounted for when running numbers on potential purchases.

In another instance, I heard about a tenant that put concrete down the drain...that's worth an insurance claim in my book.

For instance, I have been mentioning to investors that I have some performing notes that perform at 11-12% that I have had a hard time finding a buyer for because they are in second position on some of my rentals.

For instance, is someone allowed to buy a property as an owner occupant, leave it vacant for 3-6 months while the house is being renovated, and then move in afterwards and live their for the required amount of time?

Twice I have been on the buy side where this amount was not disclosed, and I knew it, and as soon as we closed we filed the appropriate paper work to get my buyers in each instance about $20k from the seller.

When one party fails to fulfill their obligations, the contract and the law provide instruments - eviction in this instance - which allow the other to mitigate loss.  

I've had a couple of instances pop up where people call and want to sell their lakefront property at a discount. 

For instance, if you have maxed out credit cards, see if you can get credit limit increases or apply for a new credit card.

In many instances, the rates are identical for any consumer 1-4 product.The problem is that the banks I've contacted only do portfolio lending on owner-occupied 1-4 units.I was wondering has anyone come across a bank that has a robust 1-4 unit non-owner occupied portfolio lending program?
