Hello BiggerPockets,After reading numerous books from the BiggerPockets library and spending more time on Loopnet than I would like to admit, it is time for me to put some of this knowledge into action. 

I'm not sure if I should reach out to the seller directly or if I should work this through a broker.

We're diligently preparing these lots, anticipating a market rebound.Navigating through this unusual market has been tough, but I am confident that the experience and perseverance will pay dividends in the long run

Is this true?

- How should I start with this?

For this dependable brain trust: Please help me in finding a RE lawyer/ expert on easements. 

Background: I offered on a condo (still a newbie to investing myself, although this would make my third STR and second in one market), and the same day a second offer came in, higher.

Also, I won't do any buisness this year through my LLC so will I still have to file? 

I brought a partner into this deal to get it done, I will be funding the rehab portion of this Fix and Flip deal.

Hey James,That’s a solid question, and I’ve seen this scenario come up quite a bit.
