See http://www.hcd.ca.gov/codes/ol/ApprovedUpdatedOLINFOBOOKLETRev05-31-07.pdf Got a spare $1500 lying around?

I don't know about you, but I'm not lying on the floor in a bank or gas station at the command of some scumbag with a gun so that he has control over whether I live or die.

Technology is the future. period.

But, keep in mind that it will show up on the HUD as a referral fee from the seller to you, so the seller may ask more questions of the attorney, who is unlikely to lie for you.

He flat out lied on transparancy and making all bills available on the internet 72 hours before vote.

I'm overly-ambitious, and when I set my mind to something there's no turning back- no matter the amount of work that lies in front of me.

Don't sit there and say I did it and lied.

I wouldn't touch a Starbucks with a ten foot pole.They are contracting heavily nationwide and repositioning.When they were growing they had no competition.Now every restaurant chain practically has some kind of fancy coffee or frapaccino.Many now instead of a 4 dollar drink at Starbucks can go to Mcdonalds and get similar for a 1.00.I know it's not the same but people will trade quality for big savings for OK taste to get a fix.I know about the restaurant industry and was in it for 10 years before getting into real estate.Same goes for Blockbusters.They are getting crushed by Netflix and Redbox DVD.They are fixing to go into bankrupcty and go under.As lifestyles and technology changes some business will flourish and others will expire.This is why it's important to know what is growing and what is contracting so you aren't left with an empty space and no cash flow.

I guess it's possible that multiple agents have lied to me about this, but given that I am the best buyer some of them have (all cash, always close, no contingencies, many deals, do all the closing work ourselves, and give up our half of the commission :), I'm pretty sure they'd be happy to sell me a property before it's listed if they were allowed to.

Make sure to review leases and such, actually your contract may want to read that you have an inspection period to verify all information under which you can cencel the deal if something he told you was a lie or didnt fit with your investing strategy.
