Check with your attorney on these strategies and go with his/her advice.No such thing as a one pager for a complete understanding being described for any real estate transaction, paper and ink is cheap, mistakes are much more costly!

But what holds many of the them back is a fear of the unknown, fear of making mistakes, and lack of a system.

But what I wish is if someone would just tell me "look, these are MOST of the things that can screw you, im not saying there are not others, but if you do this you SHOULD avoid 95% of the big monumental mistakes"People always think I am asking for some guaranteed way to not get screwed and disclaim things to the point of uselessness.
