I am in Oregon and am interested in a referral to a lawyer or planner that can help set up a Charitable Trust. 

Terrible lesson in getting things in writing and never trusting family.

Getting involved with notes is a little tricky when you're first starting out... you don't want to get screwed over by diving in and trying to "learn from doing" but then losing money because you're not prepared and don't know how to execute, you don't want to get screwed over by paying $2k for a course that won't give you enough knowledge to be able to start on your own (and gives you info you could probably find for free online), and you don't want to get screwed over by partnering with (i.e. trusting) someone that you really don't know much about. 

Is it better to go through the bank that is holding my mortgage or through my trusted broker that found me the lender?  

I am new to the Bigger Pockets forums, so forgive me if this has already been addressed.

Were the terms that a susequent sale would need to satisfy addressed in the original previous sale contract?

Fortunately, I have a natural tendency to do the right thing and in a timely manner so his complaints to have "safety" issues addressed are not too much of an inconvenience for me (although the renter himself is an annoyance). 

1) These things can be very local so definitely look into it with your permit office that oversees the property's address.  2) You should probably pay yourself a fair wage for what you put into your business. 

Get someone that YOU trust NOT who the buyer wants, to get a quote for the damage and how much it will cost to fix.

A controversial technique that not everyone is comfortable with.Some trusts, such as charitable remainder trusts (CRTs).
