This seems to apply to a mechanic shop. As in, brakes, engines, electrical. That's not me. I would categorize it as Vintage car restoration. No mechanic shop is going to cut out rusty panels and weld in new ones.

Yes, I've heard of that. I tried one in the beginning. Tried it again just now. The problem is, they only go back to 2000 or 1990. Also, they cover auto repair shops like, brakes, engines, transmissions, electrical. Or, fender, bumper, hood replacement. Nothing related to panel replacement from...

Yes, the owner did say she would pay $2000 of the $3000+ owed. I feel like the "super deal" on pricing was more than enough to make this go smoothly. Before she bought the car, I told her, no, I don't want to do it and if she buys it, find a restorations shop. She still bought the car, sight...

What is the name of your state? CA. I've been restoring cars for many years, mainly my own cars, then sell some of them. Everything on a car except upholstery. I have a business license and sellers permit so I can buy cars at auction. So, a family member bought an old VW, sight unseen and...

We've never seen the house in person but did get an inspection before purchase. The PM has $500 on deposit to cover any expenses or repairs and we refill it when needed. But, if it's more than a certain amount, they will contact us. They did not with the stove and the on-boarding person said...

When I first saw the $408 (+ 10% charge) for the stove, I asked my contractor (doing rehabs for 10 or 15 years in MS), if this is normal. His response, "Never". Plus, the 2 permits pulled on this house were each $40 and not the $150 the PM is charging for. The permit that they are unable to...

Yes, you are correct. We're in CA but this is a new house in Mississippi. So, new rehab, new appliances and new tenant.

My new PM is telling me something I've never heard of. I rehab a newly purchased house, they found a tenant, I had new appliances installed and the tenant didn't know how to turn on the new stove. He called the PM and the crazy story begins. I was charged a total of $450 for them to go out to...

Update: I contacted my insurance again and pushed them that I had liability and that all the advice I received was to go back to them. Our agent confirmed that the claim was moved to the legal department and gave me a number. Later that day, an insurance appointed lawyer called me and is...

OK, I like this response. I forwarded the paperwork to my insurance agent and no response yet. Tomorrow, I will start pushing till I get to the CEO of the company.

OK, I was going to the wrong contract. Now, I found this: "INDEMNIFICATION: Owner further agrees to hold Agent harmless, defend and indemnify Agent from all liability relating to the management of the property as well as any liability for injuries suffered by any employee or other persons...

Yes, I posted about this a few months back but thought, it was DOA. I've gone over the lease (again) and still, "no pets". and what I've read, we would have to "warn everyone around the house" that there is a vicious dog. But we did not know about the dog. Also, we would have to make sure the...

What is the name of your state? TN. We have a rental in TN, (out of state) and the tenant has a dog (Pitbull) without permission. The lease states, "no pets" and the PM was not aware of the dog. Apparently, the dog broke loose from a chain and bit a teenager on the hand. Now, we are named in...

The tenant should "not" have a dog. No dog deposit on file and from what I recall from the original lease agreement, it states no dogs, like all my leases. But that doesn't mean the tenant didn't eventually get a dog without any notification to the PM. Yes, If I can't get anything started...

I talked to the claims department. I did not go through my agent. She may be new since she put me on hold for a while to ask someone else, what to do. Looks like I'll be calling them back tomorrow. Thanks.
