If anyone has a recommendation for attorney that might handle a small case that size, or info for how to file soemthing like this while I'm out of state, I'm all ears!

The showings were scheduled 15 minutes apart and it inevitably created a bit of a frenzy because nothing gets a potential tenant on their toes more than when they show up 15 minutes late and someone else is already there looking at the place they want....or you have a potential tenant that showed up on time that likes the place and wants to talk your ear off....but then someone else shows up as well.

If there are better methods out there I am all ears.

I'm all ears, and thank you!

Also remember if you've done a fund raise, you'll probably want a CPA to do your accounting, so you're giving some kind of documentation (maybe K1, maybe 1099) about earings to your investors....so out of that $15 you made, you have to pay the CPA.#2. 

They have an attorney's ear in almost every city and they are just waiting for a hint of a new city opening up and they will hunt for zoned property before the lines are even drawn. 

They flyer and ring our doorbells 20 times a year and tell us we may have "hail" damage.

If I recall correctly Kevin Bupp also offers a free 30 min coaching session to anyone who wants to bend his ear.
