I have my dad's help who is a builder, and my aunt who owns a successful art & faux company, and me.

One part is how crazy or liberal is the HOA- a great way to find out is knock on the neighbor's doors and ask- most people are not afraid to rave or spill the beans on their HOA. 

A well written contract, in my opinion could be considered a work of art, the words you use and how you use them are subject to scrutiny by others, the buyer, his lawyers, a judge, others in title.

That is an art in itself and requires a separate set of research skills.

Thanks so much for your help, @Art Allen. 

This character made an art out of seeing and finding things that other did not see!

Door knocking is both a science and art.  

I work as a legal secretary and want to support my "art habit" (as well as my retirement) by holding onto rental properties, and probably living in one of them in a few years.  

The neighbors are eager for him to vacate the property.The property is located in a very liberal area of Northern CA and the attorney retained by the daughters is claiming there is nothing he can do to get the husband out of the house.
