They forged documents, have the assessor for king county as one of their CEOs (my property was in Clark county WA but my property title was changed in King county WA where he WAS the assessor) hsbc had to pay me and countless others for bad foreclosure practices and that caused them to go bankrupt and my loan was floating and I essentially owned home free and clear due to terms of the contract stating that if loan was to be sold that hsbc my husband and I and the new proposed lender had to all meet in person and sign new paperwork permitting the transfer of the loan which never happened.

I believe we have covered most of the needs in this post, but I was becoming unsure about an LLC.From a multi-person investment point of view, is an LLC still the best way to go?

The property is in pinellas county (clearwater)   The folks above are correct that you can check out the county recorder's office / public records, which may entail having to go down there in person during gov't work hours.You can also ask your realtor or loan officer, who may be more available, and can send it to you via email. 

Also, an NDA should not seek to prevent a disclosure demanded by law, for example, an NDA to prevent a person from reporting a crime which the person is legally obligated to report will not be enforceable.The scope, duration and restrictions in the NDA must be reasonable.

Weather that's for swapping numbers to meeting in person for coffee.

Look at loan options like standard loans, group loans, or private funds.

We spoke with a lawyer who advised forming an LLC to purchase the home to protect our personal assets.

Buy the property in your personal name and get an umbrella insurance policy for protection.

Unfortunately due to personal reasons, I was not able to attend the event.

This is why it is important to keep personal and business assets separate.
