I've been studying the legal aspects of tax lien investment for a while now and am moving on to trying to model an investment.

I've been studying real estate (from the book perspective) for years and even have a finance degree with a real estate track.

@Casey McgoffHi Casey,IMO, I would study the different niches of investing, rather than investing, itself.

I will be studying the beginners guide and will continue to read as you all have suggested.

I'm really steaming about this, trying to relax, but it's really hard to swallow being treated like this by my own neighbors.As per CC&R's I've never found any language even relating to HOA responsibilities, let alone what.

As a property evaluatorDriving and studying the market pricesSee the prices & maybe ads just at looking at the propertyAs a camera & video (Duhhhh!)

Usually, the leases I see have language stating that Landlord has the right to provide utilities and I delete that and say that Tenant will go directly to the utility provider and we then add language to say that the utilities will be paid and pipes will not freeze and all that protective stuff -- or, the Landlord says that there is only one meter and we either state that Tenant will pay to separate or some other "sharing" language.However, in this recent deal the Landlord states that the utilities are separately metered but Landlord wants the right to force Tenant to buy the utilities from Landlord instead of the utility provider and even agrees that the cost will not exceed what Tenant would have paid the utility provider -- but Landlord has expressed on no uncertain terms (rather rudely in fact) that he will not change the language and will walk from the deal if we require the change.

Hi ive been studying a great deal and I'm finally ready to get out there.

When I was studying the financial aspects of real estate, I determined that that had the greatest potential for long term consistent growth with the least amount of input (time/miles) over an investing career.

The reasonable accommodation language several posters have mentioned is real.
