I will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection.

Are we technically serving alcohol? 

I did all of mine several months ago as they are single member LLC;s and I already have to go through fingerprinting, background checks for my NMLS license as well as audited financials for our fund.

I have an extensive background in residential construction, having built several properties from the ground up, and I’m looking to focus on either fix-and-flip projects or a niche market for small residential homes in my area.

A DST is like owning a property in a partnership, but is technically held in the same name as what the old property was held.  

.- Background: Took some real estate classes before but really a lot of self learning on creative financing - Current Goal:To close my first wholesale deal within the next few months by learning from seasoned investors and applying proven strategies.I'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible, so if you have any tips or resources, I’m all ears!

Avoiding the occupants from squatting is best addressed with background checks, employment verifications, and references before signing the lease.

You will want to consult with a lawyer.In regards to your last two questions here's some background on what makes a contract valid and enforceable:Offer: A promise to do or not do something within a certain time period Acceptance: A clear and direct statement that all terms and responsibilities are accepted Consideration: A legal and adequate inducement given in exchange for the promise Capacity: The parties to the contract must have the legal capacity and competency to contract Awareness: A party must be aware of the contract Legality: The contract must be legal in the jurisdiction it will be operating in***Not legal advice*** Steps I would take: -Review contract in detail to understand each counterparties responsibilities (if you are not aware)- Email a copy of the lease to each of the tenants listed on the lease and reiterate lease expectations for termination notice, rent payment etc. - If the lease was signed via Docusign (other esign may have same ability) - you can go to the envelope, go to history and view the IP addresses for each action taken.
