In particular, I want to get started renovating homes outside of the Northampton, MA area, where quaint country homes are a prime market for visiting professors and working professionals.

Hello everyone,Can anyone in the metro Detroit or/ Detroit area recommend someone that is savy and knowledgable in legal advice, entities, real estate questions as an attorney but need them to be professional!

I also thought it didn't seem very professional and I doubt would get me to make a call.

@Randy JonesGood question.Generally a father's IRA cannot be invested in his son's business as a son is generally considered disqualify party directly or indirectly.

Any sub-lease activity would ONLY be to a traveling professional vetted by myself, a fellow owner and investor, and there would be financial upside above market rents for any willing owner.

Maybe thats the move and then you can wholesale whatever you want.Are you a people person that just loves breakfast, lunch  and dinner meetings and is a 'connector' you can bring people together and get a piece of the action if done correctly by all parties.

It will be a panel of four professionals in the lending field, hard money, private money, conventional lending, and an investor that has used them before.

Thank you for sharing your approach.I would think that a seller/buyer would really value the fact that licensed professional is involved in a transaction, but in my rather short experience, people out there are suspicious about the motives of a real estate agent vs just regular buyer.
