Actually Getting Started

[Jason Lewis]

Hello all,

I would like to get some thoughts on whether it is worthwhile to meet with an attorney to set up an LLC and the actually contracts/assignment contracts to make deals work.

I tend to be a DIY’er but an skeptical of leaning on just LegalZoom and internet contracts.

Thanks!

@Jason Lewis,

I'm also a big DIY'er, and setting up an LLC is a piece of cake. As for contracts, you can probably get some decent ones from local investors or a title company.

That said, have a good attorney on your team. REI is a team sport, and you want a good team.

If you have a solid attorney, at least get in a good consultation. Ask about what specifically you should do in setting up your LLC for what you want to do, and then have them review your contracts.
