However there’s no breaking the bond I have with my current realtor

Hello,Native Houstonian Newbie, trying to cut my teeth in small multifamilies while I'm young and expenses are low!

I cut my teeth on this property for a year and I was itching for another.

Estate - the property and assets of an individual, including all real estate, bank accounts, life insurance policies, stocks and bonds and personal  property @Parker SanburnExecutor (male) Executrix (female) - the person(s) named in the will who will manage the estate of the decedent.Administrator (male) Administratrix (female) - this person is appointed by the court to manage and oversee the court process for the estate of a/the decedent who has passed without leaving a will.Personal Representative (PR) - the person who is representing the estate.

I have a good bit of savings and looking for a great first opportunity to sink my teeth into to determine if real estate investing is a good match for me.  

This is what a title company does when you purchase a property but the cost to pay a bonded title company would get large fast if you tried to do that for each property you thought was a good deal.

For example, my lady and I tried the to install the kitchen back-splash, great bonding experience but, not hardly our strong suit.It wasn't until I heard one particular podcast when the rhetorical question was posed, "where am I most valuable, in my business or making money for my business."

The bond market is in a bubble due to fed purchases, record debt in student loan,auto and credit cards, the imf says 15% of listed companies can't affordthe payments on their debt, and this year has seen 65% increase in corporate bankruptcy filings, tesla has never made a dime, amazon makes 0$ on merch sales, etc,etcShort term buy and flips are probably a lot less rissk now.

If it specifies bonded, licensed commercial contractors for XYZ type of job, then yes, you run the risk of not being able to collect if said contractor destroys your building.In your example, I would probably let it slide if i self managed, I would not however, let a property manager or tenants use anyone who was not insured, bonded, etc.

Your contract with them has no bearing in court unless they are licensed to begin with. you know they don’t own a company, have a license, have any insurance/bonds, why do you expect reliability and adherence to the contract?
