I prefer buy and hold investing and have a few single family properties and one 17 unit apt building. 

Doesn't normally attorney prefer a fast transaction because the longer time require longer works? 

I still prefer the smart phone & have always used the pics from it for marketing etc.

I'm pretty confident I can get the investment backing, but I want to get my ducks in a row (renderings, investment return, etc|) before I approach my pool of investors, so as to look legit:)  Before doing that, however, I want to be able to articulate the structure of the deal.In the case where the land owner is involved, is he/she a equity stakeholder with a preferred IRR in the deal?  

Hi,Thank you to everyone who responded with recommendations for a closing attorney.I'm now looking for an asset protection attorney that works with RE investors, preferably in North Metro Atlanta area.

I would always prefer to do/hire out the work myself to insure its done well.....sellers can't be trusted!

I prefer older buildings when it comes with rental.  

That's why we'll continue to support and improve both at BiggerPockets - because for different people and situations, the mobile app is preferable, whereas for others, the mobile web site might fit into their workflow better.

Improved education and a taste of success seem to be the keys to spark interest in many of the stories I've heard.

Personally, I will ride the wave as a holder and if the trend fades back to ownership preference, I am already stocked with inventory ;)
