As I stated in my last post, you must protect yourself with information.  Therefore, you MUST ask questions.  Watch the way people answer.  If they hesitate or look away from you, they may be lying.  They may not.  Don’t judge too quickly, but don’t ignore those red flags.  My realtor sent me the rental lease and I read it thoroughly. I had questions about the sewer, watering the garden (must I do it or is there a timer?) how I pay each month etc…I DO NOT CARE if my questions bother her.  It’s her job to answer these questions.  Thank goodness I read it carefully.  There were a few errors in it.  And I’m showing her that I do not miss these things.  Don’t allow people to think you don’t see what’s happening.  They will take you for granted.  You deserve the best this world has to offer.  In learning, you get the chance to practice your question asking skills.  Its exercise for your brain. Ask lots of good questions of anyone you can.  Those who don’t want to hear them – well, that tells you a lot about them, doesn’t it?!
