Do some searching and I am sure you will find an in depth discussion of it.

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.

Today Jack Kiley, President of MidAtlantic IRA, called me to discuss the issue I have had with the transfer of my IRA. 

I just want to find out if anyone will be around this weekend and would like to meet for coffee or lunch to discuss deals/strategies, etc?

There are some key questions that need to be answered before discussing exit strategy.

We just don't want our kids and grandkids held captive by scammers, and irresponsible government employees.. and out of control "programs"

I could see that for a contractor but a good employee in the medical field would never be out of work for an extended period of time.

W2 employees spend their whole checks every week.

not surprised. the govt can't live high off the hog forever. programs (& employees) are being axed left & right due to their fiscal irresponsibility. you're in detroit area which has gotten hammered even more so the less in housing values, the less in property taxes to fund these things.if the govt was in the private sector, they'd be bankrupt in days.

I feel like with my business background and education, along with high goals for my future, that this can be obtainable, possibly with some much needed assistance here and from other local investors in my area.Looking forward to future discussions and networking!
