All services property managers do on retainer now other services do for a fee. 

Berkshire just did 3 massive stock buybacks in less than 2 years with its retained earnings.   

I would concur with people who say retain a good real estate attorney.

The tenants didn't see me fall.Ended up with 2 skinned knees, bruised palm and some pulled muscles in my shoulder. 

I even offered attorneys a $5,000 retainer to just hear me out.

I was told I had a case but the guy was asking for 10 thousand retainer lol Laugh 😆 

You retained him and kept with him all the way through everything and only now, everything done set to close, ONLY now it's an issue and not one where you want anything addressed, anything answered for, no the only act is "how can I NOT pay this bill I owe". 

Poverty grinds people down and even working with people enduring poverty grinds people down (landlords, social workers, teachers, ministers, whomever...).In class D neighborhoods, it is possible (though sometimes difficult) to find and retain tenants of good character AND for tenants, finding landlords that do a great job maintaining decent housing and that treat tenants fairly are rare.

You may be able to do this because the 51% owner is deemed to only have transferred 49% by looking through the partnership and be viewed as still retaining 51%. 

You'll learn more from doing one deal that is yours than you will reading about what others have done/might do.You'll build a whole new muscle group based on mistakes, missteps, failures and eventually, successes.
