It ended up okay, but it sure taught her to slow down and get comfortable digging deep into the due diligence.Here in San Diego, I’ve seen the seasoned investors always double-check with a well-regarded local title attorney..I’ve heard there are a few firms around downtown that specialize in smoothing out odball title issues..or a trusted property manager who knows what unique fees to expect.

For this, I'd recommend being prepared with the terms you're willing to accept in such a situation and staying firm.

Plenty of opportunity here in DFW.So far I've been working with a couple of local development firms (Realty Capital & Hunt Realty Investments) that have given me some guidance on the commercial side.

I am profitable right now (cash flowing between $1200 and $2500 per month depending on the season), but don't have any desire to raise my monthly payment with a cash-out refi (nor am I likely to match my current rate).

One thing to remember is that while BP is amazing, it is a business owned by a VC firm.
