Many PMs ask for this in their agreements to reduce their own liability exposure.

The landlord should be named on the tenant's insurance policy for additional protection and to assist with tracking compliance.

I am considering building up on my fourplex. 2 additional units.

Additionally, I would like to attempt to do the process Owner/Builder with subcontracting work out as well as doing some of the work I'm comfortable with (I have some experience with bathroom & kitchen remodeling an am not new to the construction industry).

If you sell a property, and do a 1031 exchange with the proceeds, but don't need all the proceeds for the down payment of the next property, are you taxed on the additional profit that isn't part of the exchange?

My goal is to leverage that equity for additional income.

Yet, many investors overlook simple strategies that can significantly reduce their tax liability.

The problem is that your debt payments are going to basically wipe out that $400K profit unless there is room to increase revenue or reduce expenses.

Am I getting greedy to ask for an additional seller credit at closing to help offset some of repairs needed?

My agent is saying that we are unable to split the contract that way (or reduce the purchase price), so I'm trying to figure out options.
