In the end, the investor is responsible for making good, informed decisions and for knowing precisely what their needs are as investors.  

Some tenants even sort based on sub-structure so just making sure all of the details are as precise as possible. 

DOGE, that definative lineup of computer genuises, lead by Elon Musk founder/ inventor/ creator/ innovator of: Paypal, Space-X, Tesla, Starlink, ChatGPT, autonomous driving software, landing flipping booster rockets from space back down on earth with pin point precision...... ....

Honestly I never know precisely, as I'm constantly buying and selling, and frankly I neither know or care.

@Mark HafnerI've been investing internationally for many years but it's very difficult to answer the kind of questions you ask without writing a dissertation so I'd encourage you to ask more precise questions in the forum.

The comparison in the book is between active and passive investors (defensive and enterprising are the precise terms used), not some line in the sand of what type of return one seeks.

More to the point of your post, the agreement of sale should have language detailing precisely how the escrow funds are released to buyer or seller.

The tenant will most likely talk nonsense and show the judge precisely who they are.Send the judgment to a collection agency, along with all supporting documentation.

Draft precise agreements outlining loan terms, manage risk by diversifying investments, and build relationships with real estate professionals.

If you could be more precise, you will get better responses.
