The worst thing is to get stuck with a property that becomes a money pit. A noncommittal partner who does not uphold obligations as agreed at the onset is also a negative scenario. Nobody wants these outcomes, but they happen everyday. Simple disagreements such as who should pay the taxes or who pays a bad contractor arise consistently in the real estate industry.

Know your legal avenues. Can you represent yourself? Can you recover lost money? It is common to put a lien against a property? If you are an investor can you put a lien against a property? How do you protect yourself from being taken advantage of in residential real estate? Occasionally, we get a phone call for a consultation after the partner has already put you in a stressful situation. We try to mitigate these experiences ahead of time with a consultation. This can save you from becoming that caller who calls after the fact. Don’t let your investment become complicated. We suggest you work out the kinks prior to investing. We can help you navigate documents, resolve/mitigate disputes, and make informed choices.
