I wouldn't worry about artificial goals set by the internet, just focus on what reasonable for you. 

Your conducting business everytime you sign your name on anything......It all started with Wikipedia....Schools are fighting the internet disrupting their market share on education.

Or should I just search the internet and do it that way. 

I don't claim to be a lawyer & don't play one on the internet, but there may be a need to notify for it to be valid, but that could just be for creditors.

Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome... nothing works properly.

There's not much information on the internet regarding how much it costs for CRE so I'm looking for some good benchmarks while gathering quotes.Thanks.

thanks dave i will look into the hard money lender's it's just the internet (search data base) is so over-saturated and it becomes overwhelming a bit at times

Did a internet search but did not find what I was looking for.Thanks,CV

If you are dealing with partners, I would highly suggest creating an LLC entity AND have it include a an operating agreement that covers who does what and how you will eventually dissolve the company/dispose of the property.Disclaimer: I am not an attorney nor do I play one on the internet.

But if it is large banks with local presence that is OK.These internet preapprove letters do not get the attention from local listing agents.
