I'm going to take another view on your first assertion. 

I since contacted a real estate attorney and has been advised that I can assert myself and enter the property if I have keys or get a locksmith. 

The statute is plain as day.In addition, be aware that the SFR Decision in Nevada is under assault from the Feds, who are attempting to assert their own federal super priority.

I would assert it would have gone down a little more from 2008-2011 if not for code creep.

Now, I do accept that assertion that "Most new investors don't have a CLUE how much in hidden costs there are in real estate."

Hi Elizabeth,I assert backpage is great website right along Craigslist.

Good morning all, A local experienced investor recorded a seminar where he vigorously asserts that a Contract Sale are a much less risky and more fairer to both TB and Seller than Lease Options (he states that LO transactions fail 95% of the time resulted in the TB not closing on the property).Are Contract Sales the same as a Land Contract?

@Jason Grote Great question by the way.Like you mentioned, considering all parties named above with the same experience level, I assert Real Estate Brokers have the edge over appraisers and investors because they have do a CMA every time they get a listing to justify their asking price.

One of my favorite books about learning high level listening skills is "The 5 Essential People Skills: How to Assert Yourself, Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicts" by Dale Carnegie Training.

I should try more insurance companies I assert.
