@Jerry KisasonakIn those types of situations it is often a case of fear (for herself or for children) - sometimes naïvety "He said he won't hit me anymore" - rather than co-dependency that keeps the woman coming back.

I've found many books are motivational, but I want to know the nuts and bolts of managing, negotiating with tenants, finding tenants, net leases, how to co-broke with commercial brokers (I'm licensed in Maine, but there are few courses offered on commercial).

We are hired as consultants by our high net worth clients to coordinate the ELEVEN (11) licensed professionals involved in every project we are hired to supervise.

I use Equity Trust Co and for my needs, they are OK.

Apparently the agent isn't using a title co. yet in the short sale process?

Have the PR/executor sign a purchase contract, and bring that to a title co. to open escrow.

However, there are also a lot of properties where the owner is listed as a bank's trust department (ie, Deutsche Bank Natl Trust Co).

Wholesaling and co-wholesaling are strategies that BEGINNERS CAN DO, but it does require education and hard work.

But I live on the North Side and have for 8 years and I don't even know the South Side well enough to invest my money there.Yes the Chicago Landlord Tenant Ordinance does favor tenants ( http://www.cityofchicago.org/dam/city/depts/dcd/general/housing/RLTOEnglish.pdf ) I have yet to have 1 single problem with it.

A co-worker has really gotten me doing my home work on investing in real estate.
