I have no experience with attorneys whatsoever but if I am using my own contracts and a title company do I really need one? 

That changes the game plan.

Just part of the game.

No help beyond that, we’re on the hook for everything.I should mention this was quite a few years ago and Airbnb has since forced VRBO to step up their host support game via Airbnb’s host guarantees and whatnot.

My title pretty much says it all.

The city said it's been vacant for decades, so I skiptraced the owner on title and finally got a hold of him.

After I have the house under contract, do I take that contract to the title company?

I've done a number of owner finance deals as a buyer, and an attorney is not terribly expensive, typically about $1k per property including the note and title search. 

At first I thought no, because he brings the contracting to the table and has relationships with subs but, I've done the self prepared DM marketing campaigns, taking phone calls, building rapport with prospects to sellers, finding the deal, building our team (lenders, title, insurance) for the past 6 months, and did not get paid for any of that work.

Hello forum, As the title reads, I’m new to Gwinnett/N.
