Meet Shaneka Shaw Taylor, Shaneka is the Founder of Taylor’d Litigation Professional Corporation, an award-winning lawyer specializing in product liability, commercial litigation, and real property litigation, with a track record of success in Ontario and Alberta courts. 

In this episode, Shaneka talks about:

• Contracts are crucial in real estate investing. They should be clear and enforceable, covering all potential scenarios to safeguard your interests.
• There is a significant difference between transactional lawyers who handle agreements and closings and litigation lawyers who manage disputes. It's beneficial to have both types of lawyers on your team.
• Current litigation trends include buyers not being able to close deals due to appraisal issues, loan defaults, and promissory note disputes, often exacerbated by rising interest rates.
• Sellers can protect themselves by including clauses in contracts that allow immediate release of deposits if a buyer defaults and by considering alternative dispute resolution methods like arbitration to avoid lengthy court delays.
• Before purchasing a property, conduct thorough searches to ensure no outstanding work orders and verify ownership. Also, ensure the property’s income can cover all expenses and have a financial buffer.
• Being ready for potential vacancies or tenant issues by having personal financial resources available and a clear exit strategy, such as refinancing options.
