Thus it isn't hard to see how a non-defensive investor could LOSE money if the buyer wanted to press things.

My fear is too much press and hype will bring more ill-prepared investors into the arena and drive up prices.

I don't see any filings or press.

Hey All - A friend in the press asked me if I knew anyone who has done a rehab or home renovation that just didn't work.

I think in the process of growing the community, you accidentally grew your glasses too!!

Thanks.I haven't attended any in well over a year but I think you'll be hard pressed to find one that wasn't exactly as you described above.

If you are building a new duplex in an older area and bringing up values, property owners would be hard pressed to get a court to agree that you caused them "harm" Are there other duplexes in the area?

For example, if you have an LLC and in the course of work for the LLC, you accidentally drop a hammer on your neighbor's Lamborghini, he can sue the business and potentially win a judgement against the business.

Some companies have these fees which is a cost to do business,or a due diligence.It is only requested when the funds manager,or director has thoroughly reviewed the required documents,likes the plausibility of the project,has had an interview with the principle(s)on the project(s)and all are in agreement to press forward

Originally posted by Dean Letfus:J Scott Record an abstract of the contract with the county register and or put a lien against the property would be 2 options.That would work in the case of a lien-holder who checked title prior to recording a lien, but I'm not sure it would prevent a contractor, for example, from recording a lien.Not sure I can think of a non-convoluted situation where you could get screwed by this, so perhaps it's not a big deal, but it just "feels" like there is a situation where the seller could do something stupid to purposefully or accidentally screw you over.But again, nothing obvious comes to mind, so maybe I'm over-thinking
