I do not know how they sleep at night losing that kind of money.

The insurer could decide it doesn't make economic sense to spend the money to defend, lose, and have to pay the loss anyway.As far as bonding, unless the estate has limited its claim to the value of the property and not the title itself, I doubt you can bond the claim off. 

I can’t get insurance for the life of me! What’s happening?! We own 7 properties. Just onboarded a house that’s a flip. Roof was in shambles, we had it replaced. Paid cash for the house. We have been in underwriting w...

Repairs and upgrades boost value but can drain liquidity.
Are you using any financing tools to manage improvements while maintaining healthy cash flow? Would love to hear about your strategies.

Hi guys,I lived in a house from 2012 till Jan 2022. In Jan 2022 I moved out and it became a rental...My understanding, if I lived in the property for 2 out of the last 5 years I can sell it without paying taxes on the...

At most I would allow a small dog (less than 25 pounds, full grown) and charge a pet fee (pet rent) 

My vacancies usually happen over things like abandonment after losing their job, having medical issues, wanting to move in with a new boyfriend, giving Pay or Quit notices for not paying rent.... and so forth.I'm not saying your wrong, but is there any evidence that if I tried to get in a Class B or A neighborhood, paid all that money, and all that more in taxes..... that things would be that different as far as tenant behavior. 

But a couple of thoughts come to mind:1 - An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Florida is down almost 15% and Texas is following the same path.I bring this up because at a recent meetup some investorswere telling me they are willing to pay full price to beat the competition.That's an insanely bad move right now unless you're willing to come out of pocket to cover expenses to try to keep those houses afloat.Stop speculation for the love of the real estate gods STOP.The only time you lose money in a real estate crash is when you sell in bad timing...BUT you must remember that deals are only deals depending on how they were BOUGHT, not how they were SOLD.Heck, even in Denver the smartest investors I know are buying at even deeper discounts because they know DOM are going to be longer than expected.Get better at sales, get better at marketing, don't be romantic on any one market and we will survive. 

Also I do realize I would lose the tax benefits and also the tenant paying down the mortgage monthly etc, if I sell.I have an unused HELCO on the property for $150k, and dont want to refinance.
