No one injured, but the place and everything in it were total losses.John Higginbotham, if you think they're hounding you now, imagine if this happened in your building.

Mom got brain cancer and I need to be close to her, a job relocation, my kid got injured and is now permanently in a wheelchair and the old house isn't wheelchair friendly, old house burned down, etc, are what we're looking for.The other alternative, depending on how much it'll cost you, etc, would be to refinance the duplex into investment property financing with a closing concurrent to the FHA purchase closing.

Wc insurance is required by all people that work in construction .. even sole proprietors .. this is of course if your intending on keeping things legal and not wanting to risk getting sued by a injured worker .. a officer of a LLC or a corperation can get exempt  from   Workers Comp but they have to file for it .. so if you have anyone who you hire that tells you they are excempt .. ask to see their certificate .. then check online to see if it is valid .. unfortunately  .. if you dont check and they get injured , you can still be held liable .. good luck and ..God Speed , Michael Short
