Download or read book Let the Seller Beware written by Reba Saxon and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why this handbook? Texas real estate contracts are driven by consumer-focused law. In some ways, it is as if the seller is viewed as a giant corporate manufacturer of this large product to be sold for many thousands of dollars, vs the poor, defenseless buyer, whom we must protect. To provide this protection, there are more than thirty "outs" for buyers in our residential contract and related addenda. There are only three for the Seller! This book outlines and explains the entire Texas Real Estate Sales Contract for the resale of One-to-Four Family Residential properties and includes all related addenda explained by a seasoned negotiator. It will benefit any Agent, Broker, Buyer or Seller of residential property in Texas. Many of the aspects may also apply to contracts available in other states, but this book applies to practice in Texas. The real estate sales contract is THE most important document in a real estate agent's briefcase. Listing agreements are nice, buyer representation agreements are nice, but their use only indicates the possibility of income. Nobody is going to get paid until a contract is written and closed. It is imperative that you know the contract inside and out, for yourself and for your clients, since the contract conveys property and large sums of money. It is the single most important aspect of our business.

Download or read book Real Estate Law Asset Protection for Texas Real Estate Investors 2022 Edition written by David J. Willis and published by . This book was released on 2022-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a pragmatic and creative approach to legal and asset protection issues faced by investors in Texas real estate, particularly investors in residential and smaller commercial properties. It is not intended to be a textbook or comprehensive academic treatise. Rather, it contains practical perspectives and techniques developed over the years in the course of advising and representing investors. Since there are usually as many opinions as there are lawyers in a room, it should be no surprise if other lawyers disagree with at least some of my conclusions. In response, I would point out that there is nothing theoretical in this book. Every strategy I describe has been tried and has succeeded in the real world. Having said that, every reader should consult his or her attorney prior to implementing any of my suggestions in order to insure compatibility with individual circumstances. Business plans vary and so do investments and asset protection strategies. This book does not offer legal guidance to any particular person with regard to any particular case. Note also that the law changes and evolves, often rapidly. While cases and statutes are cited in this book, the reader should do independent research to ascertain the current status of the law before relying on any of these citations. If you are a real estate investor who owns (or aspires to own) 10, 20, or 50 or more properties, then you should consider reading this book. If you use creative methods such as wraparounds and "subject to" transactions then you may find this volume very useful indeed. However, if your goal is to assemble an international consortium to purchase Rockefeller Center or Trump Tower, then this is probably not the volume for you. All real estate investors should form the habit of doing thorough due diligence prior to investing in real estate. This includes consulting attorneys, accountants, insurance advisors, and other qualified professionals on overall methods and goals as well as specific transactions. Every investor should have a team of seasoned professionals available to answer questions, offer input, and provide customized services. A professional investor will also acquire a basic level of competence in searching and obtaining information and copies from real property and appraisal district records. On the subject of transactional documentation, I urge readers to avoid most standard forms, especially those obtained from the Internet, except for contracts and addenda promulgated by the Texas Real Estate Commission and the Texas Association of Realtors. Consider all others suspect. Lastly, it has been my experience that good ethics make for good business. Avoid any transaction that even hints of fraud or deception. If it appears too good to be true it probably is. I welcome comments and criticism. I can most easily be reached by email at [email protected]. David J. Willis David J.

Download or read book Real Estate Law Asset Protection for Texas Real Estate Investors 2016 Edition written by David J. Willis and published by First Edition Design eBook Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a pragmatic and creative approach to legal and asset protection issues faced by investors in Texas real estate, particularly investors in residential and smaller commercial properties. It is not intended to be a textbook or comprehensive academic treatise. Rather, it contains practical perspectives and techniques developed over the years in the course of advising and representing investors. Since there are usually as many opinions as there are lawyers in a room, it should be no surprise if other lawyers disagree with at least some of my conclusions. In response, I would point out that there is nothing theoretical in this book. Every strategy I describe has been tried and has succeeded in the real world. Having said that, every reader should consult his or her attorney prior to implementing any of my suggestions in order to insure compatibility with individual circumstances. Business plans vary and so do investments and asset protection strategies. This book does not offer legal guidance to any particular person with regard to any particular case. Note also that the law changes and evolves, often rapidly. While cases and statutes are cited in this book, the reader should do independent research to ascertain the current status of the law before relying on any of these citations. If you are a real estate investor who owns (or aspires to own) 10, 20, or 50 or more properties, then you should consider reading this book. If you use creative methods such as wraparounds and "subject to" transactions then you may find this volume very useful indeed. However, if your goal is to assemble an international consortium to purchase Rockefeller Center or Trump Tower, then this is probably not the volume for you. All real estate investors should form the habit of doing thorough due diligence prior to investing in real estate. This includes consulting attorneys, accountants, insurance advisors, and other qualified professionals on overall methods and goals as well as specific transactions. Every investor should have a team of seasoned professionals available to answer questions, offer input, and provide customized services. A professional investor will also acquire a basic level of competence in searching and obtaining information and copies from real property and appraisal district records. On the subject of transactional documentation, I urge readers to avoid most standard forms, especially those obtained from the Internet, except for contracts and addenda promulgated by the Texas Real Estate Commission and the Texas Association of Realtors. Consider all others suspect. Lastly, it has been my experience that good ethics make for good business. Avoid any transaction that even hints of fraud or deception. If it appears too good to be true it probably is. I welcome comments and criticism. I can most easily be reached by email at [email protected]. David J. Willis Author Bio: David J.
