I have someone that's looking to invest in multi-family developments however I'm not sure how to protect myself before connecting the two and how I should look to be compensated.

Do I need to buy title insurance to protect me as a seller?.  

Because I am so new, I know I don't have much to offer in terms of expertise, so I mainly try to give words of support to other newbies.

Have them bid on the work you want done so you can compare prices and ask to see their previous work/make sure they are licensed, and can sign a liability agreement, protecting you and your business.

My partner and I are looking to dip our toes in the REI pool and realize the promise of financial independence.Our plan will most likely include creating an LLC to provide protection (tax, liability, brand), starting with flips to build capital, diversify into buy and hold/BRRRR to build wealth, and finally retire in about a year to live life ;)We've been lurking on BP, reading @j_scott and @brandon_turner, and listening to the podcast.

You can start with an attorney, realtor, contractor, home inspector, and someone with expertise in financing.

Looking for a Real Estate/Tax Advisor or both in Fort Worth area.My situation is that I have multiple businesses and multiple partners I want to be able to structure all companies correctly with the best asset protection and tax savings as possible.

However, Reg D compliance actually protects the issuer as it is a safe harbor, the issuer utilizing a non safe harbor private placement exemption subjects his offering to interpretation by security regulatory agencies.All this is of little concern to the passive participant as long as he obtains full disclosureWhat is of more concern is the licensing, if any, needed to broker, manage, and service notes.Purchase of existing notes, whether residentential or commercial requires no license.
