Since then, I’ve worked as a CTO and consultant, but real estate has always been a key focus.

I would consider them to be more of a consultancy than a turnkey provider, and as such I think they provide tremendous value.Of course I could do all the legwork from scratch - research markets and properties, find lenders, get home inspectors and insurance and property managers and so forth - but RTR has already done all that and has far more experience and knowledge than I do.

He/she can also provide guidance / consulting throughout the year.Best of luck

That complicates enough I'd consult with an entity/asset protection pro.I don't hold residential assets in LLCs unless partners got involved. 

You might consider: Consulting a Real Estate Attorney – Your emails may possibly prove misrepresentation.Requesting Public Records – A FOIA request might reveal why the city denied you but later approved the duplex.Escalating to City Officials – Bringing this to local officials could expose inconsistencies.Exploring Tax Write-Offs – A CPA might help offset your financial loss, if it is possible.I’d definitely seek legal advice.

This is where it pays to consult with a real estate attorney.

I am currently working in consulting so would be unable to provide full-time work, but I would be available for part-time work.

Consult with an attorney to provide a purchase and sale agreement in your respective state with an assignment exhibit included. 

I realize I'll need to consult with my attorney and CPA for actually structuring these, but I'm interested to learn from anyone here who's scaled their real estate business from their individual portfolio or flipping business, to bringing in outside capital to grow. 

I've also consulted with a lawyer but wanted to check if anyone else has ideas about how best to go about this.
