I have purchased 5 of the FIG properties and they are legit so far I have been happy.

I'll quickly share the process, but most legit lenders will be very, very cautious if they will lend at all to new investors.

I want to make sure and he wants to make sure our agreement is 100% legit and friendship proof.

But Governor Sisolak has allowed casinos to open and I really feel our property rights should have been the first thing restored, not the last. 

I am just curious if anyone else has dealt with the domino effect of moving things in and out of their personal name/LLC's, trying to make sure your taxes are legit while still reducing tax liability AND being strategic enough to ensure that when the first domino falls, the rest fall into the correct places (the ultimate dream, right?)

How to find out if a company or an offer is legit?

This will help you determine if a lender is legit and knows what he or she is doing.

If a private lender is legit you shouldn't have to send any money up front. 

You lose the deposit even if you have a legit inspection and find actual real undisclosed issues.  2) If he does end up selling it to someone for more like $50K he instantly has the reputation of bringing overpriced crap deals to you hoping to make a big spread and not caring about his end buyers.  3) The only way to sell it at that price is to find someone that is naive and to pull one over on them.  

And assuming it's legit, can you resurvey the lot and turn it into 2 separate properties?
