**Professional Help**: Is it advisable to consult with an attorney or accountant when setting up an LLC, or are the online services sufficient?

Please advise and give any tips to get a good deal.

I'm going to a new CPA this Friday who has extensive real estate experience so I'm hoping he will be able to advise me on the best/easiest software to utilize. 

You will send them prop address and they will email you back a report, with list of similar houses sold in recent months, advise you on temperature of the market and so on.

I was recently told in a sit down with an attorney to form them into a Texas Series LLC, which I think is decent advise, correct?  

I spoke with fidelity solo 401K adviser, and they do not allow any real estate investing from their solo 401K account.Thanks.James Lee

You contract with the seller should spell out exactly what the risk are for him; further, you should not do this deal unless (1) the seller utilizes the services of an attorney to advise him (2) you have the cash or credit capacity to payoff or refinance the loan if it is accelerated due to the due on sale clause and (3) proper safeguards by way of third party servicer, escrow, legal documentation, are adhered to.It seems you may have a big winner; however, it’s just these that lead to lawsuits if not handled properly.
