My problem is everytime I do, I constantly have to defend myself and the reasons I am interested in real estate investing.

I am just looking to get tips or ideas, that when the time comes, I can be prepared to defend my efforts fairly. 

This story doesn't help me, as much as make me nervous that I may already be talking to this guy about a deal and have no idea.If he wants, he can defend himself here and tell his side, but wither way, we can make our decisions with full information. 

Or why not pass a criminal defense law that says the prosecution cannot spend more money than the defense (equal funding to both sides) - so that less people are compelled against their will to take a plea deal that includes a conviction just because they're scared to get a worse outcome if they go to trial with a public defender with 1/10th the budget to put on a defense.

And as a lawyer at a luncheon quipped, you really don't want a new nickname, that being "defendant".I would look into ALL the zoning, licensing, insurance issues, etc. for running a day care in your rental.

defend your propertycook some burgers

Sarasota co. states if your the high bidder and the defendant mentions Bankruptcy after the auction,                                The county has earned the auction fee and the Winning bidder lost 5% of the winning bid.

Yeah, I defend wholesaling (1) because I do it, (2) because I think there are a lot of good wholesalers out there (and a lot who are not for various reasons).

I would prefer that the courts allow a defense from loss of income due to the situation and put those evictions on hold with the defendant providing a written document about how their income has changed. 

Our attorney's update was to remind us of all this.She wanted to remind us as she defends 100s of landlords and on down the road in 3 or 4 months when you go to evict a problem tenant, wh8 now has free legal representation that the tenant groups are still meeting and trying to get approved, she doesn't want to have to also fight a fair housing issue too.
