and This probaby goes without saysing,  that you're acting as a PM under the protection of an LLC?

And some real estate contracts don’t even have attorney protections within them.

This protects against a situation where someone tries to take the money for other purposes.

This is why the mortgage contract needs to be reviewed by an attorney to protect the seller and you.https://apps.irs.gov/app/pickl...Personally if I was doing the deal, I would just pay cash for a $30K purchase to eliminate having to deal with a mortgage contract, the seller and a lien on the property.

Real estate is a fantastic way to build wealth, and protect it, if you are careful and leveraged with how you buy, hold, manage and sell.I agree that when starting, you may be better off with a strong single family home rental.
