Most good board certified real estate attorneys I know will tell you don't do contract for deed deals.  

Maybe you can even find expert investors in your area and just shadow them on a regular basis.

Would be great to work with the experts.

I was sure my CPA was awesome, but without paying for an expert opinion, how do you ever really know.  

They tend to have general info and knowledge of various asset classes but do not specialize.Those nuances and deep expert level knowledge from a specialist makes all the difference in the world when you are buying a property in the millions to tens of million of dollars in purchase price.For instance in retail commercial I have specific commercial attorneys I use that have specialized skills like I do in a specific asset class.Hope it helps.

(Zero being just that or are you an expert in a trade with a minimum of ten years under your belt?)

Send them your state equivalent of a pay or quit notice via certified mail. 

I'm a pretty new owner so not nearly the expert that many on these boards are, but feel free to message me if you ever want to chat.

Any help from experts is highly appreciated as this question has been bothering me and am not able to find a solid answer.Thanks again for that help you guys provide on this great forum.

Reach out to @Russell Brazil, he is an expert in that area.
