They sub leased my property (on move out day) to a squatter, "unknown person".I consider myself lucky. 

I've been thinking of getting into real estate for several years now, but was somewhat afraid to take that leap into the unknown.

We can't pinpoint timing, but under the current economic system, I'd bet my last dollar that there will be another bust (date unknown).

It's as if the market sale date and equity % are all completely unknown for these properties.

Somebody wanting to sue for you backing out of a bad deal or accusing you of selling them a property with defects like unknown termite damage).

Then your attorney should include the phrase, "and all known and unknown residents of". 

I don't have a lawyer yet, but I already have two pages of questions before wading into something that is new, risky, and unknown territory for me.

A few years ago I bought a small lot in South Carolina with cash- utility hookups are present but in unknown condition.

So far we have placed an offer on a short-sale property, and I just sent letters out this morning to some absentee owners that we found by Driving for Dollars this week (a concept that was completely unknown to me a week ago!).

Even with the inspections, there is still a waiting period for using it for something other than a gas station, just because of the unknowns of gas vapors and potential soil contaminants.
