Sounds like you're in a trial by fire learning process here.

Deborah,That's actually how I got wiped out (financially) in the early 80's.Oddly, I later became a student of the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) where they teach apartment management line by line and make you right a comprehensive report about an apartment building.Those classes are not for everyone, some will learn by trial and error and many, of course, already know everything.But I just wish I had taken those classes before I bought the "White Oak Apartments."

Trial and error.  

What's is nice about the promotions is they also some services on a trial basis once in a while, which is when I take them up on it.

The commissioner may prefer a complaint for violation of thissection before any court of competent jurisdiction, and thecommissioner and his counsel, deputies or assistants may assist inpresenting the law or facts at the trial.

They finally had the trial yesterday.

Your lawsuit could be for your $4,000 + legal costs + opportunity costs as you would have done something with that property or something else with the money tied up waiting on the property.Your goal in this endeavor would be to obtain a pre-trial settlement that would at least get some of what you feel you lost back. 

It was a trial an error, emphasis on error.

Would be a trial run to see if you like managing the properties.

I actually joined FB University on a trial basis (for one month), it's what $100 a month but I couldn't justify the cost with the webinars being of such low quality.
