Legal issues are not as rare as you believe. When they do occur they are very very expensive. This is one small piece of the puzzle. there are many, many more. Believing that you understand this industry and how it will change is very naive. I wouldnt pretend to understand the inner workings of your industry, it’s funny that you think you’ve got mine all figured out. I sure don’t!

When you make investments do you try to match the market returns or do you try to do better than the market? My clients consistently do better than the market because of my local knowledge and experience. You could buy any home. You can hire a housewife that works P/T for ZipRealty, I know several. Personally, when I make major investments, I look for the best counsel I can find. When you buy your next home will you be satisfied with any home or do you want to get the best one you can get for your money and one that will beat the market returns?
