I would call around to some other PMs in your area and see if that is standard practice in your area.

Again I am not an attorney nor do I practice law, so please ask your attorney for legal advice.

Sure an attorney created and executed these under their practice.

Realize the things a lot of people say can be done theoretically, but in practice is a real pain in the rear and no Realtor wants to work with you.I have taken enough boot camps in the past and spend enough money on the gurus promoting no money down easy money creative finance deals.

The benefits that I will be receiving will make school practically free for me.

If you're relying on insurance, be sure that it covers intentional acts include Fraud, violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act (in Texas), etc.

The notion that Lyft or Uber should be illegal is absurd, and yet we see police running stings for Uber drivers in some cities.So in conjunction with good realtors figuring out how to changed their business model over time, I fully expect to see the NAR pushing "consumer protection" measures that require agents/realtors.And, if you will indulge me in trotting out one of my hobby horses, this is one of the reasons why it is a really bad idea for the "REI" community to be pushing/engaging in questionable practices that will provide the justification for those bad regulations.  

If you haven't checked out the podcasts yet, episodes 79 and 83 are interviews with folks practically in your back yard.  

Do not get a general practice attorney that dabbles in eviction but a full time specialist.

I could handle most of it myself, but I am not a tax expert (a very specialized area of practice) and understand my limitations.A long about way to answer your question, but as I said in 2. above: "no", you don't need an attorney if all you want is to create an LLC.
