I sent him to my attorney who was able to help him get the correct papers filed to have title deeded back to him.

I have been a landlord since 1982 and I have also flipped a fair numbers of homes over the years.A couple of years ago I discovered the "paper" side of the real estate investment world.

Im spending time on paper work, marketing, negotiating, possibly staging.

Unfortunately, her other landlords did not report or file legal papers again her.

there has to be a paper trail. and if done wrong most likely that trail will lead right back to me.

If you make 10k a flip times 3 in a year for 30k that will be a lot of work for a nominal return.The people that flip make larger spreads otherwise it makes sense for them to just flip the paper quicker for those kinds of margins."

Increased rent for the option tenant as you can apply a paper credit of 10% toward purchase down payment.  

It doesn't cost much other than time, gas, and a little postage, ink, and paper.  

Decades later I am finally getting around to really working through the grieving process.I am writing a book about my life and my business and so far I have found it feels really good getting things out on paper.

I haven't used an attorney for real estate yet, but I realized when I filed the papers for a C corporation a few years back that it's just too easy to miss some small but significant detail.
