You will need to build your CORE 4 when you get started which consists of having a great realtor, contractor, property manager, and attorney.

A closing attorney almost just fell victim to Justin and was able to reach the bank in time recalling the wire before losing his money, which then led the bank to contacting me and now maybe the arrest.More charges are being filed against him since his bank has stepped in, law enforcement and maybe now the FBI are on it. 

I suggest having this conversation with an attorney.

Hey @Tony Thomas, I won't speak to the tax side (not a tax pro) but from a bookkeeping perspective, this will complicate your operations (and, bookkeeping as a result) quite a bit.So, ensure you have super powerful incentives from an REI-savvy attorney and an REI-savvy tax advisor prior to making this move.Some of our Clients have implemented this in the past (prior to working with us) and their businesses weren't large enough to justify the complications that come with this type of structure.Hope that helps!

@Brittany P.The reason people use them is because some Facebook guru told them too, just like if the guru told them to fake a verification of funds or a guru telling people they don’t need to send a borrower a 1098People tend to not do their own research or have an attorney review and just take some template from the guru

Check with Account Closed about all this, but also an attorney!

If possible, find a local attorney who specializes in real estate or construction disputes to represent you at the hearing, given you're out of state.

Can anyone please recommend real estate attorneys familiar with creative finance in AZ, TX, CO & OK? 

Many people say "I know for a fact none of my family has judgments" but family members regularly do not discuss their financial problems with other family members, may be unaware of legal issues and their standing, and there also could be fraud.You should also consider any prior spouses among the parties that ever lived at the property as a marital interest attachs regardless if they were on title unless resolved by express court decree (in which case former spouse should join the conveyance).An attorney is not required - though you will need a properly drafted deed, GITREP form, and affidavit of consideration to record.

Title companies and closing attorneys exist for this specific purpose.Why not use them?
