You’ll find some feel it’s more important to protect you (really themselves) by making sure every “i†is dotted and “t†crossed, even to the detriment of the deal.

If you have a strip center and the oild company wants to cross the property, they may have an entire easement and pop a hole in your parking lot.

Why do you even contemplate that a friend would double cross you?

buying personally.I'm going to speak with an accountant that specializes in cross border real estate investing.

I never heard from them again.So even w/o getting any money, the bank was still looking at me cross-eyed.

After all is said and done, all the other i's are dotted, and t's are crossed and as of March 1st 2011, the title transfered for my first investment property.

This is off RE topic, but since we have a lot of professionals on here and I noticed a few pilots I'm hoping to get some insight on the gravity of my fears.I travel a lot with my company, including flights cross-country and the dreaded Atlanta to Honolulu flight a few times a year.

Seems to work fine and I had no problems (fingers crossed) getting my taxes done this year by pulling the info out of QuickBooks.

It sounds fairly simple, but I'll probably do what Dave is suggesting and visit with an attorney to make sure my t's are crossed and i's are dotted.

Unless you actually like flying cross country to "take names" and "kick arse"!
