And should I get a degree or any academic qualification to have more experience and knowledge about real estate?

So that has been my "next action step" to wait for a clog to happen again and have him camera it, but it has now been almost 1.5 years with no incidents.TLDR: There is a chance that the bottom bathroom tub/toilet could fill with sewage during a guest stay, but I am hopeful that the next time it happens will be the last.

A knowledgeable attorney can advise here.Create a solid operating agreement: Since you own the condo with a friend, a clear operating agreement is essential to outline responsibilities, decision-making, and profit-sharing for the LLC.To save on costs:Look for real estate attorneys who specialize in investment properties and might offer package deals for the retitling, operating agreement, and filing the LLC.Shop around for title companies that can handle the transfer smoothly and provide competitive rates.Research DIY options for setting up the LLC if your situation is straightforward, though I’d still recommend a lawyer for the transfer process itself.Good luck with the process!
