@Chris Mason  I never targeted those incarcerated but like anyone who has been doing this long enough certainly have had clients go there.. and have had docs signed there. .buying and selling.. 

John" Doc" Holladay, at Bullhead Laughlin Realty won't be a bad choice.

Subterranean termites need to be killed where they live, in the ground.Remember that wet soil will also attract termites - so look for pipes leaking and plants/mulch that stay wet close to the building.In Florida, a wooden building that hasn't been treated for termites recently... has termites.

And with a good drain pan, when they eventually leak, you won't get a bunch of damage to the home.

What @Chris Martin said.A real estate/closing attorney, a promissory note and a deed of trust are the primary (sometimes only) ingredients needed or required to close on a property using private or hard money in this state.The going rate around here for a RE attorney to draft or review these docs and close a loan is anywhere from around $400 to upwards of $1,000 depending on who you know, how much business you throw their way, or the direction of the wind that day.The cleanest way to do it, if you're interested in that sort of thing, is for the PML to have their own RE attorney draft the lender docs (Note, DOT, some want a personal guaranty as well) and then use a different RE attorney to close the transaction with.

I plan to pay off my debt to my NJ property by end of November to 'stop the leak' and then 1031 that and/or sell one China property to finance other purchases.  

Then a leak occurred with one of the mini-splits and the wall needs fixing.... one thing after another.

Are all the right docs recorded?  

@Brian PulaskiI am having a hard time grasping how he would have the upper hand with no signed docs of any sort, nor a license at time of work.
