@Scarola Markson When you say a closer, do you mean a title company/lawyer?

Your lawyer can often guide you when reviewing loan docs.

Some people that I know who do similar jobs don't because the amount of money they would spend on lawyer fees would cost more than the lost. 

An eviction lawyer would be a great idea at this point.  

I have a GC that does not preform in the tampa area I am looking for a lawyer who can help Thanks

Reach out to your real estate lawyer, and if you don't have a trusted guy, find one quickly.Reach out to the next of kin if you can.

Gave me practical experience finding deals (and the tools & techniques involved), working with realtors, lawyers and banks, appraisals, inspections, insurance, property taxes, utilities, closings, HUD statements, etc.Owning a home gave me more practical experience in basic to moderate home repair, dealing with contractors for more complicated issues, capital improvements, insurance claims, "neighbor relations", and many more important aspects involved with owning property.But in addition to buying and owning my own home, I'll say what was equally important to giving me confidence to get started was having a few friends who were already doing what I wanted to do. 

Suggest a RE lawyer who is also a CPA.

I'm not a lawyer nor a CPA and this comment is not a legal nor tax advice...

The idea of a partnership was explored, but our lawyer advised against it.
