As others have said have a lawyer draft up the agreement.

Spend the 12k on a sump pump instead of lawyer fees.

Right now you say it is $400/mo but in the summer it is much less so you need an average. you can't gouge tenants or you'll get a phone call one day from a lawyer. 

That is my focus when I set up loans for clients- and I will go whoever is going to slow to meet the deadline- appraisers, lawyers, etc. 

I use grand deeds, if I remember what my lawyer said, a quit claim doesn't give me as many protections from past title issues & the title insurance doesn't continue.  

We have also received an influx of international immigrants who are also in search of housing in Windsor.

Is this how you wanted your $500,000 investment managed...so this company could absorb a $1.8 million loss.The syndicator brings in illegal and unlicensed immigrants and guts the inside of every apartment.

Just as I would doubt any doctor or lawyer that claimed to be an expert in all areas of their field. 

Specifically, I am interested in learning more about syndications, working with lenders, lawyers, CPAs, and other professionals involved in cross-border real estate deals.

Usually, a lawyer has access to those documents only.
