The bonds suggest that they will go bankrupt, and the politics are not friendly to landlords or businesses in general.If I moved to Chicago, I would invest in NW Indiana, I think Dallas has a much broader choices to invest over the long term, even if I think that the Dallas market is showing some signs of slowing.

I'll admit it,  I signed up for one of their classes, and later cancelled after seeing reviews online. 

In NC we actually have an optional waiver of rights form with I have active duty members sign, which waived their right to SCRA in cases of eviction.

In RI it's attorneys who handle the escrow/closing, rather than title companies.Usually in Rhode Island, if you're using an agent and the standard RIAR (RI Association of Realtors) purchase and sale forms, you wouldn't engage an attorney until your offer is accepted (which in RI is the same as getting a signed P&S back), unless you or the seller is putting something out of the ordinary in the P&S (usually in the additional provisions on the last page but there are a few other places extra language can be added).In that case you might want to bring in your attorney to double check the language you or (especially) the seller are proposing, just so you understand what you'd be committing to.I'm not sure what your connection is to Rhode Island but since your profile says you're in Maryland there are probably some differences between the two states when it comes to real estate.

I always start with a yearly lease  then once that expires  it automatically goes month to month if they choose not to  sign another  year-long lease .  

The buyers agent wants me to sign a release of escrow back to the buyer.What if I don't sign it?

You can also start making connections by offering yourself to put up bandit signs for wholesalers, searching the MLS for investors, analyzing deals, etc.

Can my landlord give me a notice to quit if It was not signed by a state Marshall?

We have a forum specifically for agents (select the Forums tab when that opens select the brows forums tab)Keep in mind the investor world and the agent world are very different.
