I didn't read anything, listen to anyone, just did a simply trial and error and made it work.

Obviously there are other issues in play here, but the legal basis for his current trouble should give pause to rookies and pros alike that are investing using their and their family members' names.

I asked an attorney nicely if they can help a rookie out and quickly glance at this contract that I wrote and give me pointers.

The couple’s purchase appears to be the culmination of a comedy of errors involving a $14-a-year property tax bill that the homeowners association failed to pay for three decades.

Free coffee and/or lunch on me to the first rental vet that reads this and wouldn't mind letting this rookie pick his/her brain.

Find out where the error is, or what you owe and pay them quickly.  

I also avoid doing mentally intensive tasks on days I wake up not alert (reporting takes about 10-12 hours and is pretty complicated, if I am having an off day it will take me twice as long and I will probably have errors)I started using the "getting things done" method about 2 years ago.  

You will turn a win into a loss with one little error

Now it's more of a series of errors that would have to get to that point.  

I find more rookie agents that like working with investors because they have more time available.
