Top 10 Mistakes Made In Real Estate Investing
with Susan Vitello

Don't miss this opportunity!

Susan focuses her practice on real estate law, estate planning, and business/corporate law, and also provides general counsel to her business clients. While these areas may not seem to have anything in common, Susan will point out that they all tie in together. A business owner, who owns real property that houses his business, needs an estate plan so his business and his real estate are transferred to the heirs and beneficiaries he chooses with the least amount of taxes being paid and loss to the business. An individual who invests in real estate should be incorporated and have an estate plan to protect his assets. If you own a business, you will need an attorney to help you with everything from incorporating and reviewing and drafting contracts to staying compliant with federal, state and local statutes and ordinances, so you don’t violate business or employment law. If you own investment property, you will need an attorney who is well versed in landlord tenant law so you don’t violate federal, state or local laws which could end up costing you thousands in fines and penalties.
Because Susan was a Real Estate Broker and has invested in various forms of real property for almost four decades, individuals began asking her to represent them in real estate matters, including real estate closings, evictions, leasing issues, landlord tenant law, zoning issues and anything else related to real estate. Susan represents many homeowner associations in several areas such as amendments to declarations, by-laws and rules and regulations, rule enforcement, collections, directions to board of directors, assessment collections, special assessment procedure, running the association meetings, and many other issues associated with managing a homeowner’s association.
Estate planning is the area that ties it all together for Susan. With a passion to see her clients not lose the assets they worked so hard to accumulate, she began counseling her clients on the importance of having their estate in order, including a succession plan to pass the business along, pass the real estate investments to their heirs and beneficiaries, and to make sure their assets were protected from attachment by creditors.
