To eliminate the hassle & onerous task of dealing with the above, I'd like to partner up with an attorney or a paralegal who's:a. a property investor           and       b. has the legal expertise to take care of that part of the business, right up to closing the deal.3.

Thank You, for your help and expertise.

Are there any laws defining rent rise discrimination for non-protected classes?

Mehta’s journey into real estate investing, I realized that many investors on BP did, or do, something else as a day job.Many of you are accomplished business people in other areas of expertise - so the natural question is, how do those careers help inform your real estate investing strategies?

With that said, the residential market is going to be somewhat protected as there has not been a large amount of FREE money out there over the last few years.

- What do i need to do to protect myself in case they move?

The banks often pay taxes to protect their interest.

(Note: I'm glossing over some finer points here, such as the possibility of using a certain kind of trust to achieve estate/tax planning goals, but again this really gets into a legal area as there are important differences between different kinds of trusts and you really want to understand what you're doing if you deal with trusts; if that appeals to you I'd strongly suggest consulting with an attorney, especially if your dad has assets he wants to protect from liabilities which could result from your real estate activities.)

I’m very concerned with getting back my thousands of dollars deposit if the HML won’t fund and I’m searching the internet for “clauses” to protect my money.

I would suggest working to save as much as possible and if you are planning on waiting a, "year or two," I would start to research the areas you want to be within.Once you have a solid foundation of knowledge and area expertise, then you can pounce on a deal or most likely two!
