I was on a State of CA steering committee in the mid 80s working on what to do with all these antiquated subdivisions through out america that if you used modern zoning and entitlement process's would never be approved.. the poster child was Lehigh acres and we have a big conference there with folks from all over the US.. 

Im spending the weekend watching an REIA conference about the marketing strategies, focused in DFW.

The landlord would have to show that they did everything right, and that none of your defenses have any chance at all.

I'm looking forward to seeing both Brandon and hopefully Jay at the conference.

About your best defense is to get a 3rd party (prop mgr or atty) as the listed agent.2.

Except in the simplest of situations, you will have to pay a securities attorney to draw up a Private Placement Memorandum, Subscription Agreement, Accredited Investor Verification form, and to offer an opinion as to compliance with securities laws and regulations.Over funding a transaction by 2/3, completing the purchase, and then giving money back to an investor who wants out before the sale is complete and before other investors are paid is known as preferential treatment, is illegal unless ALL investors agree to it in writing, and is a non defensible accusation should any of the remaining investors decide to sue you.  

And guess what, they'd go after everything regardless and press you to live in the defensive.

If your gonna get sued insurance is your first line of defense.

Just got back last night from a multifamily conference in Dallas. 

Can't remember what this position is named, but maybe while working for the big places, you could also park in a smaller place and be that person at the same time.Start attending conferences and building your network of friends, family, and third party investors while you're doing your year.
