On the adverse possession end, do consult with a lawyer on this.

You will need to speak with your lawyer about this.

We will have a lawyer from Mooser & Associates coming in to speak about purchasing properties at the courthouse.

My lawyer is down there his name is Eddie Garcia. 

If the numbers don't work then you have your realtor or lawyer cancel the deal.  

Investor committees are put together lawyers come in .. they oust the GP... now you have a lawyer and investors trying to run the asset they fail miserably because the lawyer is milking the deal.. then they just all cry  foul and start getting the DA involved 500 complaints to DA they have to do something they charge the 2  not just one but 2 owners of the company with criminal... one guy got 6 years in Folsom the other 9 in San question..

Luckily we have friends and family who are interested in investing through us, but we're a bit stuck trying to sort out the best way to structure our investment vehicle.We've talked to a lawyer and an accountant and the general advice seems to be to incorporate in Canada, and issue shares to investors, however we're not sure what kind of share structure to go with (how many different classes of shares, whether we should issue voting shares as well or just non-voting shares, in what form investors will see returns, etc). 

Not worth switching lawyers to save a few bucks (maybe)

In the mean time, we're building our team, fleshing out our LLC, and are planning to talk to a real estate lawyer and CPA in our area.The biggest issue we're coming across is being able to obtain financing for a deal.

When you do form an entity get a local lawyer.
