@Mike Dundon,I'd love to get your referrals for good lawyers in our area.

Each state has different laws regarding this, so I'm not a lawyer and I'm not in your state.

It goes to your legal age.I think as a minor you would have to technically partner with your parent or guardian if you wanted to do deals.You should talk to a lawyer about the best way to proceed, either by setting up a LLC or whatever allows you to do what is necessary.You should try to reach out to a local real estate investor.If you are willing to help them with work.

I understand if you don't want to clarify since it really is a real estate lawyer type question.

Giving disclosures that are not required by law is nothing but really bad lawyering!

Get Licensed AND find no/low money down deals:  Your plan is a great way to get W-2 income, and also learn to evaluate costs and quality of repairs, and then to add value to your own properties.We recently were meeting a local lender in a posh beachy area, who said to us, "Surprisingly, my client with the most income is a plumber, not a doctor or lawyer."

I'm not a lawyer, but here's some info for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractive_nuisance_doctrineThis can cut two ways though; the current owner is the responsible party right now.

A month later, I get a civil summons from the state plumbers board suing me for doing the plumbing without a license, and they are basically looking to "tax" me for up to 15k.I sent all the papers to my real estate lawyer and will be meeting with him on monday to see what he says.My question is, has anyone else on here ever been sued civilly for something like this by the state board (plumbing or otherwise)?

Hello-I wanted to ask the Boston locals if they could recommend a good lawyer who understands the real estate investment world.

Want to see if anyone has a real-estate lawyer they would recommend preferably in the West Georgia Area, more specifically the Newnan, Sharpsburg, Peachtree City or Fayetteville area?
