When going through the contract, I sat through numerous of your online videos of how to read and decipher the purchase sale agreement.

Is anyone able to take a look at the lease to help me decipher it so I can decide to either move forward or walk away? 

@Samantha SotoCalifornia has taken steps to address this issue and have have even codified certain real estate related restrictions in the Business and Professions Code.Your father may have an easier time deciphering this code but take a look at this link of the California Business and Professions Code: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?

You understand the individual words, but the terms have some special meaning that is impossible to decipher, unless you know the code.Think of this post as your codebook.

I still think is expensive, but at least I am getting guidance on what to study as oppose to wasting my time on the web trying to decipher information that might not be organized in a a coherent manner or even correct.

But for someone new, having to decipher everything and try to realize what is happening, we needed some software to help with that.SmartBnb helped with messaging, but I needed a place to centralize messaging across platforms, keep track of tasks, ability to modify listings in one place, amongst other things.

Furthermore I can't look back over my statement from the past 3 months and know where all that money came from.With my Australian bank statement, it would take 5 minutes to review, My US bank statement would literally take hours to decipher.

I really appreciate anyone who can help this newbie decipher this..

Instead you have to ask the right questions and decipher the answer.
