You'll have to have a thick skin to own low end rentals, and who doesn't like getting lawsuit threats from your tenants or letters/ phone calls from slip & fall lawyers?

Title/Escrow Company or Lawyer depending on how your state does it for closings 5.

. - the lawyer i typically use did the title search so i covered that bit - the seller lawyer's (a different lawyer) did the tranfer documents from the seller's name into my wifes name, she is now listed as the owner when i look at the online tax records for the county - i dont know if any other title company was part of the transaction - once the property was in my wife's name, i paid off the credit union mortageg which was in the name of the seller - typically i use the HUD when filling in tax forms - not sure what i need to produce this time

Hey All,I am currently looking for recommendations for a good Real Estate Lawyer that is experienced with Investor clients and/or Seller Financing deals that is located in or around the San Jose California area.

Sheena,It is best to talk to a lawyer in your area for straight answers and take everything on the internet with a grain of salt because most will give ideas but nothing to back it up.Joe Gore

I don't believe a lawyer can legally tell you this unsolicited, but you can definitely ask and they will tell you the process.I could be completely off on what I just said as I have no experience with foreclosures or bankruptcy but I do remember hearing that years back.

If the amount is large, paying a lawyer may be worthwhile.

[/b]The big deal in Texas is that if it is a Executory Contract, then the statutes apply.Here is some lawyer talking about substitutes for the lease option...
