If the govt thinks you're a public problem in your business dealings you're not smart enough to out smart them, it's just a matter of time, if a regulator wants to nail you, you're most likely nailed.Gotta understand, the financing of a RE deal has been around a long time and "investors" have been screwing people for a long time, sometimes it's an intentional scam or unfair practice, often it's arising out of the lack of knowledge, maybe both, bottom line, officials are feed up with it.Add to that the fact that there are larger players that can profit while keeping in compliance that running off the unknowing and scammer types means more business and profits.

Joshua Hawkins Wholesaler Friendly Real Estate Attorneys in Milwaukee, WI
28 January 2014 | 8 replies
I'll bet any real estate attorney there will be friendly, they get even friendlier when you pay them.If you mean those that advise you not to do some screwy, dumb. stupid, hair-brained, unconventional, guruized, scamming or illegal activity, they aren't being unfriendly, to the contrary, they are probably being very friendly keeping you out of trouble you can't afford to get into.Call Realtors in the area and get references for a good RE attorney, see who the Board of Realtors uses or has used, ask your lender for the names of three good ones.Forget about trying to get a good attorney to advise you to do things you shouldn't be, adapt your methods and strategies to their advice!
