Maybe in a clear jar with some colored pebbles or something.

Hey Jeff,I don't disagree as it's a big purchase.Some lawyers can help and some can get in the way trying to bill more fees.I generally feel more comfortable if the buyers or sellers have had a relationship with their attorney for at least a few years rather than someone they just called up or don't know.I find that general practicing attorneys which some buyers and sellers use versus real estate attorneys can be hard to get a hold of and slow up a deal.The reason is they are in court handling cases and having the hand in multiple cookie jars instead of doing one thing.I always believe an extra set of eyes can be helpful and welcome it.

Jarred, I don't want to bust your bubble but if you don't own any real estate yet I would recommend not spending any money yet to form an LLC and instead focus on what you need to do to make that first deal or whatever it is that you want to do to start making money.

In that respect, I agree with the "too many hands in the cookie jar" sentiment.

Frankly, investors who did seller financing is the reason they have been included, lend, cheat and repeat, is the historical track record, crying about it asking to put your hands back in the cookie jar again is rather absurd.

I use, and recommend to my clients, Michael Krupp (MD Private Lender) and Jarred Sleeth (Kaine Investments) - feel free to PM me for their contact info.Regarding Edmondson Village specifically, and flipping in lower cost areas in general, I wouldn't consider flipping anything in Baltimore with an ARV of less then $140k or so.  

I just completed a flip and I'm looking for another project but even that is a tough task---to find a property with enough margin that would allow for an extra set of fingers in the cookie jar would be an extremely rare find!  

LOL in the moment it was jarring, but hey we now have a funny memory.

Although I am not surprised, this is still jarring to see.
