ABOUT THE AUTHOR I started investing in real estate with an old house which I purchased with $2000 down. A few years later I found out that California rents and values had fallen precipitously. Sellers were offering properties for nothing down. I took a chance on 104 units. At various times I have speculated in vacant land and owned more than 50,000 square feet of office space. To help me control maintenance costs better I obtained Contractor's licenses in General Building, Electrical and HVAC, (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning). I have contributed articles to the Apartment Management Magazine and took numerous courses in finance. In 1993 I became an attorney. Since then I have acted for myself or clients in about 600 cases, almost all of them in the area of real estate law, evictions, foreclosures and disputes over the title to land. At the present time I own over 100 apartment units and I continue to manage them with the help of on-site managers and full time on site service people.
