When it comes to evaluating the market that we are interested in, it is important to define what market are we talking about?

It is how the person responds to the situation that defines their character.

This property meets the requirements of Sections 1947.12 (c)(5) and 1946.2 (e)(7) of the Civil Code and the owner is not any of the following: (1) a real estate investment trust, as defined by Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code; (2) a corporation; or (3) a limited liability company in which at least one member is a corporation."

When you clearly define your goals as an investor and then set an action plan, it should be a lot easier to finally pull the trigger.

I’d also like to be prepared going into this meeting (what split we should take, a business plan that clearly defines roles, budget, what capital we will contribute to the deal, etc).Does anyone have any book recommendations, podcast recommendations, expert on the topic, words of wisdom, ideas?

It doesn't seem to me to be a "crack down" at all, more just a clearly defined outline of what is allowed in general, and what isn't.

The term “100-year floodplain” is defined as any area of land designated as a flood hazard area with a 1% or greater chance of flooding each year by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968.

The Title Insurance Company may require a New Survey or New ILC, defined below, among other requirements for OEC.

I believe that if you and your predecessors in title have been driving from the public street down a road or path and onto your property, then you might have a prescriptive easement (defined as:  an easement upon another's real property acquired by continued use without permission of the owner for a period provided by state law to establish the easement). 

Not at all.You truly need to define what "works" means.Can you get a deal using door knocking?
