I am a member of a JaxREIA and ProREIA here and its been instrumental for getting educated and meeting people doing things in real estate.

Old days, it was acceptable to execute a quit claim deed as a default instrument and a warranty deed to be delivered upon final payment being made.

He is telling you that sometimes that event can cause problems related to the enforceability of the instruments.

I'm hoping REI will enable me to slowly transition out of the crazy long hours and travel I endure now in to something a little more stable and predictable so I can pick and choose my jobs more carefully to stay local and hopefully one day have a family.

I am interested to hear people thoughts on the Las Vegas market.We have many new factors to consider when predicting the market in the upcoming future.

I want to use REI as a more sound, base investment instrument, while hopefully being able to use the Forex market to realize higher risk:reward opportunities.

Paperwork wise, you would typically have a promissory note and a deed of trust, mortgage or whatever security instrument is used in your state.

Asking landlords to be responsible is one thing, asking them to predict the future is quite another.

I am always wary of 'the sky is falling, everything will be different now' predictions.
