Walter is a very logical and down to earth environmental consultant that has done this type of work in residential properties for many years.

So comfortable in fact, that 77% of the poll’s respondents 34 years and under would consider banking with a non-bank banking service such as Square or PayPal over using a traditional bank.This poll represents a huge threat to U.S. banking institutions that are scrambling to keep up with the demand for online and mobile banking solutions, while also battling to protect the privacy of their customer information.

I want a guy who is licensed, will warranty the work and carry insurance that will protect my property in case he messes up. flood burst pipe/fire/boiler blows up etc...but when hiring carpenter, painters or flooring people ...do I really care if they are insured or not. those folks will show you certificate of liability insurance ...which does not protect the guy from injuring themselves on the property. how much damage a painter can cause or flooring guy ?

Is there a clause you would recommend to protect me in this scenario, other than having a contingency?

Smell the carpet, especially if small dogs.Figure out what you can do to better weed out high maintenance tenants, annoying is not a protected class.

Can I/should I dilute my liability and protect my properties by forming separate entity to manage my own properties?

Thanks so much for the informative response, Ned.I've not heard of RESPA before, good to know there are already protections in place for this sort of thing.Also interesting that you mention the title company is also liable.

If they were everyone would be rich.In terms of unit mix, the more units in a building the greater protection against vacancy loss, however the more units the higher the priceIf you do not have 20% to put down odds are that you will have to use FHA financing which is only available for owner occupants.Where I live I could not get a good cashflowing property in an area I would like to live, so I buy in more urban areas.

Although I can't do anything about how they look inside, I was wondering what the best way to protect them from water damage?

As for Derek's BP picture, he hasn't thought about Child Protective Services citing him for being too thrifty to buy his kid a stroller and hauling him around in a wheelbarrow.
