Although I'm running wild with the new biz that my wife and little sister are excited about, I know where my heart belongs. 

So we ended up finding two sisters (one was married and had a family of her own, the other sister was single and wanted her own space).

A lineal descendant is distinguished from a "collateral" descendant, which would be from the line of a brother, sister, aunt or uncle.".... correct me if I'm wrong but an in law could loan to me or my business correct?

Is it your brother, sister, cousin, etc.

Hi,I am purchasing my sister's home (cash deal) and am looking for recommendation on a Real Estate Attorney that can handle the paperwork or a Realtor that charges either a flat fee or 0.5% for representing me.

(Living in an apartment with my sister who is going nuts because of dental school is no fun) I'm still in the research stages of the process and know I will most likely be purchasing a building where the owner wants out or is foreclosed on. 

Currently rented and I pay $80 out of pocket each month. i would like to keep the property long term. i also co-signed on another property with my sister that my  parents rent. profits from that will go to my sister and younger brother.

I live in CT and my sister lives in San Diego.

Only slightly off topic as I'm responding to the "carrying the right Insurance" thread...My sister was in the last stages of a year long renovation of her home.

What I found very interesting though was that the restrictions did not apply to my siblings, which, allows me to use my sister (who is a real estate agent in another state - Houston, TX) to buy and help manage properties for me in her area.
