I have not used these yet or had a CA lawyer look them over but my guess it they would be fine. 

Although my full time job is lawyering, thoughts of real estate investing have been percolating in my brain for years.

My advice would be to spend an hour with a lawyer who does business entity work.

Trying to force someone to sell a house is not good business in my opinion.I'm not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice. 

Good Morning BP Nation,Any North Carolina investors (Mecklenburg County ideally) have any good foreclosure lawyers in their Rolodex?

If nothing happens and the homeowner pursues legal action, I would assume a lawyer would come after both parties.

Kid is in jail need to raise bail and hire lawyer.4. want to buy something like boat RV CAR and have no credit to do so or would prefer to pay cash.5. another investment opp came up that is more profitable than the discount.reasons are endless.

The same is true for lawyers, some kid out of law school doesn't command the same fee structure of a lawyer with 25 years of experience and a track record of hundreds of cases won in technical aspects of law. 

I have used ezLandlord in the past and believe it will let you go through all the parts and give you some ideas without paying.However, I would suggest you find a lawyer to build it for you.I now use property management and think that is another plus when starting out to learn a much as you can from them.

I've seen lawyer fees of over $3000 to start an LLC but also rock bottom online assistance to do the same thing.
