I am guilty of not reading either one (my mortgage or the good book) from cover to cover, at this stage of my life.

Geeeze now I feel guilty not participating enough.

Lead is a HUGE issue especially in the Baltimore city and it was recently passed that landlords are now unlimitedly liable for any lead paint claims in which they are literally GUILTY unless they can prove themselves innocent.

It makes viewing properties much easier as I can make my own appointments at my own convenience and I don't have to feel guilty about making an agent go out of their way.

There is the opportunity to show up at the hearing as the buyer and plead your case, but in my experience, though it may save 30 days, it almost always guarantees a more trashed house from a bitter homeowner.

Both countries (probably most countries) are definitely guilty of that.

You are correct that I could be sued for deformation of character, however I could be sued for any number of things I am not guilty of and don't let this fact keep me up at night.

Wait until the hearing date, and go before the judge and plead your case.

Yes, I'm guilty of wanting to dive into things, but I want to make sure its the right way.

We will definitely be buying in the Peninsula which is notoriously expensive (I've begged an pleaded for the BF to consider the east bay but he says N-O, he's a surfer has has to be by the water... traffic... blah blah blah) I'm considering a live in fix and flip, you can find property for $515-$560 as is with similar properties selling for $675+ turn key and we're both handy so we will be doing most of the labor on our own.I'm also drawn to multi family properties and a live in buy and hold, with us occupying one unit for a few years.
