This law appears to violate procedural due process on its face. 

I've certainly done my own transactions and recorded my own deeds but it's not something I would do as a regular procedure In MD the law require an attorney creates deeds. 

Hi @Diane Huetter, I am not a legal expert so you will want to do your own due diligence.However, often in state regulations they will list the notice procedure. 

Simple notice procedures and eviction procedures differ, but sending the simple notices is usually the first step in both cases.PS - The City Of Milwaukee offers a free landlord class about once a month.

Plus abiding by the lease helps take some emotion out of the decision as you are simply following the mutually agreed upon terms and procedures.

PS one of my very short stints was attempting to sell dental equipment door to door.. you know high speed drills low speed and delivery systems and chairs and lights etc.. sit down dentistry was just starting to take off.. turned out Dentist before that had a huge problem with back aches.I worked with a start up called healthkit.. they had a delivery system way ahead of its time.. it was all numatic and was used in the military because the holder of the drills was solid aluminum block 2 X 2 X 6  with no moving parts.. unlike in those days the ones that looked like something out of a sci fi movie and would break all the time.. but of course ours was the most expensive and well .. being that and being the industry was very difficult to sell.

The bookkeeper might not know how to run budgets correctly or set procedures to make things run smoothlyYou get a Real Estate Controller who has been doing nothing but real estate accounting for years and years and you won't need to micro-manage, no need to worry that expenses are coded incorrectly, does not rely on the CPA and in fact knows how to communicate with the CPA efficiently to save you money.

Is there a general trust building procedure or source that aids in showing me what I should look for?
