I would defer to @Bill Exeter on this one.

Rule #1 of LLC's is their are no rules (almost as long as its legal). You can contract for whatever you want. How good of a negotiator are you?

I concur that Charlie is the REAL deal.  He is also very reasonable in what he charges for his seminar.   I have not attended the due diligence boot-camp yet but I can promise I would have much rather spent money with him than another very famous/infamous pitch fest guru.

Used to go to Federal Court  back in my lawyer days just a few miles east of there.   Haven't been over that way in a way in a while.  Of course it is subjective but to me its marginal.  My folks live close to that area but are around 75th and State.  That is closer to a C+.

Solid D+.
