Great advice on the other aspects as well.

There are so many options out there so many paths, and really although things get in ones way, one manages their own risk, and if they're smart about it, don't just jump in blind, then that risk can be greatly minimized.Currently I'm reading a book called Incorporate Yourself to get familiar with the basic business aspects, and different options out there for my property business, or businesses that I will start.

The contract is structured to protect the buyer from the seller, not the seller from the buyer in nearly every aspect of the contract.
