.- Lawyer /notaryIt would also be helpful if anyone can share specific costs for any items, any unexpected costs, and the total cost.Thank you!

On a similar subject, we use a lawyer whom we like very much.

We've received so many mixed answers from lawyers, tax assessors, etc. on when you actually can sell the property.

He is marketing it to his extensive list of buyers while I get the offer contract reviewed by a lawyer.

If you have a savvy tenant and you keep the sd and they seek the advice of a lawyer, you could be looking at appearing in court and paying triple damages.  

I am very worried and don't know if I need to get a lawyer involved or what.

I am not a lawyer just an experiment aka jade landlord ;) this is just my experienceas long as the rent is not in a special tax shelter such a self direct Ira, business account or other retirement account you can use the rental money no issues.

I am looking for a good Real Estate and Asset Protection Lawyer Near Chicago, if anyone knows of someone they have used or could recommend I would greatly appreciate it!

I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice just brainstormingIf it is in San Francisco under rent control you would have to do a Tenancy in Common (TIC) but I'm assuming it is in Mountain View or similar which probably wouldn't have that issue.

DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a lawyer but my understanding is LLC's only offer one "layer" of protection and honestly a good insurance policy/commercial insurance policy with an umbrella liability policy will do you more good than an LLC will.
