- Compliance programs must cover federal, state, and local requirements—reviewed annually with a local real estate attorney.
- Essential insurance: landlord property, umbrella liability ($1M–$5M), and mandatory renter's insurance ($100K+ liability).
- Each property should be held in a separate LLC for liability isolation across the portfolio.
- Document every significant interaction; retain records 7+ years; the documented party wins disputes.
