You will need to consult with a Texas Estate lawyer. 

He has connections to trustworthy Agents, contractors, CPA's, and lawyers, and of course, he would manage my property(ies) for me.

@Victor PengContact a lawyer if you decide to purchase the LLC.

When I was a full-time wholesaler most of clients were able to pull the trigger within minutes of entering the home, some trusted me enough to buy sight unseen on my recommendation, and some always wanted to get a contractor in there or run the contract past their lawyer.  

@Kenneth Soles First off, I have *no experience* here, so I recommend against listening to me ; >  With that out of the way, my inclination would be to have a lawyer do the contact.  

I'm getting in touch with an eviction lawyer and am trying to get into contact with the current tenant but I'll have to essentially catch him at home as I don't have his phone number.

Does he need to get a lawyer and if so, any suggestions?

He will no longer deal with the title company and this lawyer so I have chosen to seek a new attorney based title company to be sure no more legal issues arise to delay this further since the family member will sign but not to these people.

So from that aspect I'd say its a good learning experience, however, with regard to the specific situation of the current people living there thats a good discussion for a local realestate lawyer. 

Move quickly and hire a lawyer from day 1.
