Rather than wait for someone to outright say they will sue the other, what is the threshold in which I need to wait before I pull the trigger to hire representation?  

But like I said, I'm picking regions to look at pretty much randomly, and I'm worried I could spend a long time fruitlessly looking at home prices in some place or another without feeling like I know enough about an area remote from me to feel confident in pulling the trigger and buying something (or determining that there are no good investments in a place, giving up and trying again somewhere else).

@Stephanie PieriThere are multiple answers on this topic already in the forum.You need to deed your property to the LLC (preferably a warranty deed).You will also have to change the name insured on the insurance to the LLC.Depending on your state and county it may trigger transfer tax and reassessment.

I lived in Seattle for a few years, but never pulled the trigger on any investments.

We have a realtor and did all the necessary due diligence by calling the city, the county etc but unfortunately the timing is so tight (deadline for offers today) and covid triggered so many delays for county updates kn property (expected answer in 2021) that I decides to seek extra advice on this forum.

But special assets during this pandemic might not mean the same or trigger the same actions from the bank.

I have been a member of PB for quite some time and haven't pulled the trigger on investing.

If you wanted to get fancy, I bet you can have triggers fired off as new tasks are added to a project to let the handyman know an open job is available.  

Although we have yet to pull the trigger, we have done what you are planning to do in Chicago Lawn and South Shore. 

@Laura Davidson   That's totally alright, gotta know what you're getting into before pulling the trigger, I will send you an invite when we have the invites made up and ready to be sent via email!
