They can help you avoid a large taxable event or other unforeseen circumstances.Good luckPeter

There's actually a big one-day event coming up in the next week or two for newer investors..

I don't see why I should need to get this signed by the seller, as they didn't tell me about the taxes, and provide clean title.I have a clause that reads:"Unless otherwise stated herein, or as otherwise provided on an inspection addendum attached hereto, Buyer shall have the option of inspecting or, obtaining at Buyer's expense, inspections to determine the condition of the Property.Seller agrees that in the event Buyer determines in its sole discretion that the Property is not suitable for its purposes, Buyer may withdraw this offer to purchase at any time, and the earnest deposit shall be returned to buyer, upon the sole demand of buyer to the title company."

Glad you'll be at the event on June 17th.

I will definitely look into some of these events.

Besides doing that on here make sure to get out to some of the many local investor events we have.

John, I am already trying to get some knowledge from the investor club down here, it'll be my first event of this kind this Thursday with FIBI / San Diego Investment Club.

Once you folks agree on a date, time and location, that actual announcement needs to be posted in the Real Estate Events and Happenings forum.  

I attended a free real estate event put on by Jeff Adams' company.

Then head on over to your local Real Estate Investor Association - most major cities have one and Kansas City is no different - actually KC has 2 REIA groups, 3 or 4 landlord groups and several other networking groups where you can LEARN a lot for pennies.Not that you can't learn for free, but most of these groups have a membership fee for their monthly meetings and a small fee for special training sessions.You can connect with people at live events, face to face and possibly find the mentor you re laooking for. . . . or you might go to some of the training workshops they offer and get the information you need to get started and then take questions to the REIA or even here to Bigger Pockets to fill in the gaps.If you print this reply out and take it to the next meeting of MAREI (June in Kansas City) you can go as my guest for free - just show it at the check in desk.
