From: Jeffrey H. Lerman, Esq.

Dear Real Estate Investor,

You’re probably taking unnecessary risks that can cost you big dollars every time you enter a real estate transaction…and don’t even know it.

I’m a real estate lawyer. I’ve been practicing law for more than 25 years. During that time, I’ve been General Counsel for two national real estate syndication companies, co-founded my current firm, a Co-Chair of the California State Bar Real Estate Litigation Section, a Co-Chair of our County Bar Real Property Section, on the radio with a weekly real estate law feature called “Lerman on the Law”, an investor and a broker.

One thing I can tell you for certain: there are traps for the unwary and pitfalls in real estate investment. And, in the cycle of real estate ownership—from the time you decide whether you should use an entity to hold real estate to the day you sell your property—there are many different decisions and documents you must deal with where the more you know, the better your chances are to succeed.

You’re about to discover simple secrets to maximize your control, minimize your risks and uncover hidden profits in virtually every real estate transaction. No matter what level of investor you are—novice or advanced—this information applies to you, and in some cases, it’s downright shocking.
You’re going to save time, money, and aggravation. You’ll learn to avoid the mistakes and disastrous situations that you’ve been vulnerable to. Just for starters, here are 18 ways to save money and have peace of mind the next time you buy …

A Real Estate Lawyer’s Secrets To Dealing with Partners and Investors and

Selecting and Forming Ownership Entities

At some point in every real estate investor’s career, chances are you’ll end up dealing with a partner or investor.  And, even if you don’t, you’ll have to decide on every deal whether you want to use an entity to buy your property and, if so, which one.  Which is why I’m sure you’ll save of thousands of dollars, once you know…

• The four simple steps you must follow to determine whether you should use an entity to hold title to your property…no matter what kind of property and no matter how big the deal.
• The business and tax issues that you need to consider when selecting an ownership entity and how your entity choice impacts each of those issues.
• The best—and worst—times to form an ownership entity (forming it at the wrong time can cost you).
• The most frequently overlooked, yet potentially most important, provision in every co-venture agreement, regardless of what form of entity you choose.
• What you must discuss with your partners before you do a deal.
• How to avoid the biggest mistake when dealing with passive investors.

Slash Your Acquisition Costs By Tens of Thousands of Dollars

Think about it.  There is no “National Association of Real Estate Buyers” I’m aware of that publishes forms to protect buyers.  So-called standard form real estate purchase contracts are published by associations or companies that are trying to sell as many forms as possible to both sellers and buyers.  So, their forms don’t do a great job protecting either.  When you add up all the money you risk unnecessarily when you use standard form contracts to buy real estate, it can add up tens of thousands of dollars. You need special language to protect your interests. That’s why I guarantee you’ll save money, reduce your risk and approach deals with greater peace of mind once I teach you...

• The right way to describe property to make sure you get exactly what you bargained for.
• The language you must include to protect you if interest rates change.
• Five essential words to protect your deposit and control the deal.
• The single provision to make sure you close when you’re ready...and not one day earlier.

Stop Getting Ripped Off By Contractors –
And Save Thousands On Everything From Home Remodels to New Construction

Construction—whether it involves something as simple as a home remodel or as complicated as a new skyscraper—is one of the most frequently litigated, and one of the most expensive to litigate, real estate transactions, leading one judge to write: “building project…errors are so likely to occur that few…would be justified in resting their peace of mind on [its] timely or correct completion.”

Who hasn't heard (or told) construction horror stories? Are you going to remain a victim? Or will you seize control of your future, and claim more of your real estate profits for yourself? You’ll never again be vulnerable when you know…

• The single most provision of the construction contract (and it’s not the price!).
• The pricing options that are available to you…and which one is the contractor’s favorite (the worst for you) and which one is best for the owner.
• The clause you must include to protect yourself from contractor’s delays.
• Statute of limitations vs. statute of repose—if you don’t know the difference, you’re at serious risk.
• The single sentence you need to include to shift as much risk as possible from the owner to the contractor.
• The truth about what the most widely used construction agreement form does and does not protect you from if the contractor makes a mistake…and how to change the language to your advantage.
• How to keep the contractor’s attention and make sure it finishes the project to your satisfaction when it’s most difficult…at the end of the job.
• The little-known fact about the most popular construction agreement form that puts every real estate owner at a serious disadvantage (that can easily cost you tens of thousands of dollars) if the contractor does something wrong…and how to level the playing field to protect you.

This is just the tip of the iceberg! There’s so much more, I couldn't possibly list it all here.
