My partner and I are looking at a 6-unit tonight and a different 6-unit tomorrow night.

I was in college taking night classes and worked 50 hours a week in a RE office.

Not exactly someone I'd be taking advice on who is successful or isn't. success is being able to sleep at night and knowing you haven't screwed anyone over.

If you watch the late night gurus - it is a very easy process that anyone can do.

I found a fsbo on the same block last night when I did a drive through.

Or you can pay someone like Scott to negotiate, you will pay less, but there will be no legal insulation, and we all know that 3-5 years from now, the airways will be full of late night TV ads from the Law Offices of Joe Shmoe that state, "Did you do a short sale in the last 7 years, if so, you may be entitled to..."

Maybe you could do what I usually do, use an over night letter, it takes a day.

She's tired and slacking on some things, so I've been researching how to fix things up and have already got a plan to change things around.Long story short, I remembered the NOLO book and started reading through it again last night and it is chock full of great advice for screening tenants, drawing contracts, etc.

(It is late at night where I am and perhaps my brain is not processing this properly?)

Find an attorney that specializes in real estate investing and asset protection (those guys on late night TV commercials telling you how they won $5 million for their auto accident client is NOT what you want).
