I need to go to law school. :)

These properties were financed after the safe act went into affect.This attorney you used sounds grossly negligent from what YOU have said in many mistakes.The attorneys I know will send you a document and you read it and they REDLINE any changes and you discuss and go back and forth until you are satisfied.The fact that you didn't read at signing and TRUSTED as you say this lawyer has no bearing on the fact that you should have read it.A judge will see it the same way.What I am seeing is a mess created by two parties being you and your attorney.You have to figure out how to get things back on track.You need to know in each state where you own these properties if you can foreclose and how long that would take and what it would cost and what you could sell for to get any money back and move on.This attorney as you say sounds nice but general practice attorneys I find make numerous mistakes when handling specific areas of law.

You are liable for anything that happens from the time of the original deed until the quit claim deed is signed and depending on state law when it is recorded.

Our weak dollars are benefiting others.We have asked for this by voting for crooked poiliticians, having crazy environmental laws, having way too many lawyers to sue everyone, and catering to the union thugs that make outrageous demands.

And keep in mind the landlord/tenant law differs state to state.

I prefer that they not have pets, but the maximum security deposit I can charge by law is 150% of one month’s rent.

., since you are taking the licensing class, surely the book or your instructor can give us the code section in the law, or the DRE commissioner's regulation, or the court case to support the legal requirement that a principal must disclose his license status!

So do your homework on your state and understand the laws.

Our safety net programs allow people to do zero work and have a standard of living that is well above half of the worlds population.

It just depends are your local housing laws.
