We were confident after speaking with the city on several occasions that we would be able to obtain a variance.  

He's also an all around real estate attorney and I believe is the guy who drafts the docs that the WI Legal Blank Co sell that many in WI use for their leases, etc so I'd sure think he's well qualified for your need and even if someone who knows pretty well what to do is say $100 cheaper, I'd pay the extra $100 for Atty Petit in a heartbeat and get papers I know darn well should cover my a** in ALL situations!

I am up and back from OH to GA on occasion and will begin to make more frequent trips to network and scout as summer of 16 gets closer.

However on occasion we have been known to go above the 70% rule in the case of a higher end asset class with larger ARV's above the 800K range (Atlanta specific).

I then search for blanks and fill in if I can find them.

Pick our a standard Earnest Money or purchase contract... it will be fill in the blanks.2. fill in the blanks IE purchase price  who is buying who is selling and settlement date.3. get it signed and e mailed back by seller.. 4 walk the contract into a local title company and have them process it like any other transaction.pretty simple as you said.. or find a simplithetic realtor who will take 30 mintues with you.I don't know FLA RE law per se the disclosures are usually on the onus of the seller not the buyer so you probably have no issues.. but again a RE broker should be able to answer these questions in 10 mintues

(I have…on three different occasions).

Oddly, I meant to mention that, on occasion, I've tried to contact the listing agent before submitting the offer for the purpose of having them represent both sides of the deal.

I even plan to offer some gifts for special occasion to tenants who pay on time to reward them. 

I've signed leases through scan and email before, and as long as the money is there, even if there are blanks or missing initials, it comes together.
