I have a field in excel that represents the GSID, that I want to concatenate to create a link. Example field GSID is 123-west and the link needs to be www.website/123_west.html for some reason using concatenate with left & right formulas to switch - to _ results in the field throwing an error. Anyone knows of a way to make this work?

Real estate is one of the few practices where attorneys (who don’t practice RE) dabble. Not sure why. I’m a CRE attorney and closed, as buyer, on my home earlier this year. Sellers counsel was an insurance defense attorney. I had to hold his hand through the process. He tried to cancel closing at 9pm the night before (for literally no reason). Not sure how these people feel comfortable jumping into residential RE or, even worse, commercial.
I had a litigator giving a local counsel opinion once. He was about 70 years old and I had to explain to him how creation and perfection work, including sending him code references and excerpts. Not sure how borrower’s counsel found him.
The problem is that you are a CRE attorney. I’ve become one, but I once tried to do stuff I’d do as GC for my company for personal residence and I got “are you insane?” OC was right. But at least in my instance, OC really was right. And I put the thing in a trust anyway. But canceling a closing at 9:00,pm is weird, though to this day, for personal residences, I hire a local re house attorney. They are very different animals—Comercial and straight-up residential.
I am a real estate attorney. I represented myself in my first couple of closings. The saying that the attorney who represents himself has a fool for a client is 100% true. But even then, I have occasionally done some closings for major clients (okay one in 2020, the last before that was probably 2002). I hate it. I deal with deals in the hundreds of millions or more usually. Clients are business people mostly acting rational. Not so on resi.
