I will hire licensed inspector to do a comprehensive inspection of the property and prioritize the importance and repair cost.

Just to add my personal experience... while I agree your projected VR income won’t  matter on the front end, it may help a ton on the back end with the right bank who will look at your Debt-service coverage ratio ( NOI / debt service ) .

On the other hand, to generally examine, abstract, analyze, or negotiate coverage, one does not need to be an attorney, but may benefit from being employed by either a law firm or Title company.

Lenders may also look at "debt coverage ratio" which is the property's NOI divided by the P&I payment and they will have some minimum for this, such as 1.25. 

If you had an umbrella liability policy, you'd get substantial coverage of the liability for similar cost and be able to borrow personally at much more favorable rates.Many businesses grow into themselves rather than start out as an LLC. 

Given the host's comments it seems he didn't receive coverage.

(I also carry a decent amount of umbrella coverage personally).  

The recent news coverage regarding the Superfund National Priorties List (NPL) is misleading.

If anyone knows of a more comprehensive service, please share!
