And the same goes for landlord tenant laws in many states, and in MA rules can change by town, county, or sitting judges predisposition. 

State law is not on your side, you often deal with desperate people dealing with the four "Ds" (Death, Disease, Divorce, and Disaster), and the home runs that get the glory on social media are rare birds indeed. 

Save some money and ask a law student in a university to review.

I am looking for a Public Adjuster but wanted to know about the fees per Texas law.

Insurance payout rates are, by law, very rich, and pay significantly more than you would probably pay under normal circumstances.Before you hire the roofer, I'd ask if they think they can cover your deductible. 

I am also finding that as you mentioned part of the learning curve is knowing what a particular state's law is.At the same time, I have in the past found paying some money for a course has helped me to learn and take action more quickly. 

@Anastasia MonroTo achieve financial independence in real estate, focus on boosting savings, improving credit, getting pre-approved for a mortgage, searching for properties with high rental demand, researching local laws and regulations, building a team, staying educated, preparing for property maintenance and management, and being patient and persistent.

I think there are many over looked opportunities like mother in law suites, finished basements with walk out, finished garage, or building an ADU, renting to room mates to offset cost, etc.

The hardest part is understanding the laws in each state and making sure you comply to them.

Because the way law is written is that it only states what is PROHIBITED.
