There is good reason for a settlement agent to examine the sale contract.I learn things on BP almost daily too, I've come to the conclusion that Cali is very different and varies from the norm of long standing practice.

Anyone agree or disagree?

I couldn't disagree with your statement more about not starting with lease options.

And local investors I've spoken with outside of this message board disagree with that rule as well.We'll see how naive and foolish I am, but I would imagine renting to higher quality tenants with higher quality finishings results in lower expenses.

Respectively, I disagree with the having the rent due on the first.

Okay, I'll be hypocritical and include myself, but I don't have any intention of teaching, at least not in this arena as a paid instructor.Consider what state real estate commissions may require for agent's education, usually a master's degree and so many years as a broker, and then it may still be on a probationary basis, reviewed, examined as well as structured as to content.

Ben LeybovichI would disagree that an option transfers interest in the property.

Why don't you try to be constructive instead of smearing companies and smearing fellow BP members who disagree with you.

We have done well because we have examined the areas that we have been in for sometime for some reason.

He who has the least debt is the most competitive.Personally, I disagree with these statements...at least in some circumstances...The first statement is mathematically incorrect.
