I'm just in the beginning stages of education myself so I don't have much knowledge to shed on the topic.I do have QUESTIONS on the topic though.

I'm trying to determine if the scope of the work seems excessively priced.

Where do you draw the line on excessive/obsessive due diligence?

Some factors to consider are that there will be some new condos which are in the planning stages to be built next to mine so I'm concerned there will be more competition, still it's California and I don't see this property going too far down in value because of that, but not surehere are the numbersmy rental-condo - one exactly like mine just sold for 269K currently receive $1200 mo. from renter but have HOA of 320 mo.this condo is paid offOrshould I stick it out and see if the value of the condo goes up in a few years and then sell? 

Apparently, they don't have to disclose things like that if they are just in the evaluation stage.   

But it's still in idea stage at this point.

Me and my partner are in negotiation stages on acquiring a couple large parcels of land in 85009 zip code. 

The attorney tried to talk me out of doing a series right now since I am in the beginning stages of my investing.

Unlike most investors, I kept track of some, not every one, of these sellers and if I had been very lucky in a deal I shared that excess bonanza with a deserving seller.

If you do have claims in excess of the 3 months COBRA premiums, you can back pay and have the coverage back to the date of separation.No legal advice given and I have no idea if this is still the prevailing policy / law.
