Lawyer said he was not informed on time and now that I have signed it is closing case..So no layer or my agent wants to take responsibility for it paying for their mistake if there was one... 

I’m not an attorney ; however I believe you made a mistake for not doing the final walkthrough and reported the problem when the unit was completely vacant and made a claim on their deposit. the can easily say the damage happened after they moved out .

You have to turn houses and learn from your mistakes or work with someone to help you or what ever it takes. 

I'd rather make stupid mistakes on something I'm not actually buying.

Renters said mistakes of the past should not affect their future, especially something from ten or twenty years ago.

My suggestion is just to ask more lenders.Retrospectively, one of the biggest mistakes that I have made since my real estate investment is that I did not follow some experts’ advice: trying to use no point, no closing cost loans.

I realize I have already made some mistakes already by not verifying what I was told by the realtors.

Hard money Is very expensive, you will need a down payment if you’re just starting out and you need reserves to pay for your mistakes and cost overruns.

The best BRRRR's are the ones where the structure is good, but it looks awful.We made a few mistakes with our first duplex. 

Hi Brent,Trying to figure out a strategy for this yourself will be a hard road.If you make a mistake, the other sides attorney can rip your protection open, or make it very expensive for you.It's best to talk with a Real Estate Asset Protection Attorney who handles California residents (if you're in Calif.).Or else you could find yourself on a slippery slope covered with sweet light crude when you need the most protection.Good Luck!
