Read that last sentence out loud. 

I am long winded and most people don't bother to read anything longer than 3 sentences on a forum.

Your last sentence is what this is all about, in my opinion.

@Kris Langlois How can you say the landlord "won" (in this case) and in the same sentence state that you don't know whether he recouped his attorneys fees and lost rent, totaling $14,000? 

And your last sentence is so true.

The mentality of risking someone you loves money can be very...well think of like twenty negative words and they’d all probably fit to complete that sentence.

@Homer ReaganYour question is a bit vague, especially the last sentence. 

Always a good idea to at least have a lawyer go over it to ensure you're covering all your bases.Purchase and Sale Agreement - This would come from the real estate broker you are dealing with.Lien Waiver - I cannot speak for CA, but I know that in FL there are very specific wordings (only about two sentences) that are provided by the Florida Statues that everyone can use for simplicity.There are many different types of contracts involved but these are the first three that came to my mind.
