I live in the Bay area. I had my house tented and fumigated for termites 2 days ago. I signed a roof release that states the company will not be responsible for damage on the roof or any fittings on the roof. Skylight...

As many landlords are, I am cash broke but asset rich.

For off market deals, many times an owner is willing to pay a co-broke, but doesn't want to give the agent the listing. 

Hahahaha I have actually had a broker say in front of a group of investors would you really want to work with this little girl that isn't even with one of the big brokerages?

Hello, I’m 32, married, and a father of two girl under 5 and I am at square 1.

After being under contract for the property, a pipe broke and flooded part of the downstairs unit, I was never told about this until after closing (by tenants).

Prime real-estate for a transient, as it turns out.I first heard about it when the tenant complained that the guy put a mattress on some vent, and it broke a cooling fan, resulting in a few hundred dollars to get it fixed.

Wisdom is to realize that surprises happen, unfunded liabilities exist, bonds are headed for a dive, rents are peaking in some markets, Illinois is broke and getting broker, 800,000 rich people are leaving California and New York and heading to Arizona, Nevada, Texas and Florida (and New Zealand) and there is a migration that runs from new taxes.

Could be something was dug right in that spot and broke the line.
