If you didn't understand any of all of those documents, did you meet with a lawyer who represents you and your interests to have the documents explained to you?

Attorney is representing 2 clients, his client (wife) and her brother.3rd brother wants to file his own petition.

If you have high bills then you need to cut things out cable, fancy clothes, toys, etc.Go down to the bare bones and live well below your means and then as you experience success start adding things back in slowly but still live a modest lifestyle compared to your income and invest the rest.The goal is to eventually have so much money then you live a very nice lifestyle but it still only represents a fraction of your wealth and each year it grows bigger and bigger.Most just spend all the money they make and have hardly anything to show for it.

Our regular RE attorney (excellent one, BTW) has decided to work on the other side in consumer/ tenant protection (sheesh!) Cant advise us due to conflict of interest.. Thanks!

How could they possibly represent you will as a buyers agent.

I'm debating if I should find a broker/agent to represent me before contacting the seller agent.

., you get in touch with these groups by finding the local real estate agents that are representing them.

This makes for an easier transaction and less complaining when I use their reserve to get a tenant in.Overall I have ran into few LL's that wanted to abandoned getting used appliances or new appliances, but I will cut them off on not representing them.I run a tight, but fair ship and I am not afraid to lose an owner of shady tactics.

A CPA is authorized to represent you before the IRS just as any attorney and Enrolled Agent is able to.

If this is a listed property (has a broker representing it), you may want to ask them for their (free) opinion.
