I started studying real estate in 2008 where I spent my entire life savings and maxed my credit cards to learn from a Guru.

If you have any case studies or examples of your own would be greatly appreciated.

In addition, please know that the building department isn't held liable for any code violations discovered during construction even though they review the documents and issue the permits.

I'll keep thinking it through and studying similar posts on BP for other possible options.

If you have done nothing up till this point except study then your next step is to take action.

Try Discover Home Loans.

I am currently studying for my state broker's license, my long term goal is to own my own real estate firm one day.Never stop learning, surround yourself with other who are more more successful than you, and do not take the word 'NO' for an answer. 

This legislative session they were asked to sponsor legislation to allow for an out of court binding dispute resolution process that would empower home owners in enforcing HOA laws with an affordable, expeditious, and accessible venue to resolve disputes (a process recommended in a State HOA Study); end the abusive, excessive, and illegal HOA Transfer fee on home sales that costs home owners millions of dollars each year; to limit the excessive collection of fees and lawyer assessments on HOA debt; and most recently provide financial relief to small HOAs in the property manager licensing program.

During both I was shocked to discover a lot of unethical / fraudulent practices by licensed RE professionals.1) Rental fraud - While marketing my luxury condo in a building with very low inventory I caught one broker advertising my friends condo unit in the same building without her knowledge. 

However, i'm also discovering 100% split brokerages and will probably go down this path.
