There's a limited supply of deals (off and on market) and given the amount of work we do to make our clients successful, I want my investor to trust in us and invest in us as we do in them. 

We supply all keys to tenants for our lock sets and will make duplicates for our tenants when needed.

Most cities regulation signs even if they're on private property. 

Also are there any specific questions that I should ask concerning local laws and regulations.

Okay to do in my 20's but not approaching my 40's.The restaurant is a function of supply and demand.Greg I do not know of a particular company up there.

There is one commercial store unit that is vacant and could supply an additional $9,600/yr gross income.

In this type of arrangement you could have the option of being the "hands-off" money partner - you supply the downpayment and renovation costs either in the form of a mortgage (as above) or as an equity partner in the venture.I have endless questions, but I guess my first would be whether it'd be better to buy off properties in whole first, or to take on mortgages.

During some research I have came across Dodd-Frank and SAFE act regulations with seller financing.

A beginners book is not going to go into the legal perspective very much, as much of it will be state specific and many new regulations have come out recently. 

My question is whether or not forms like a pet addendum, rental application, carbon monoxide/smoke detector acknowledgement etc. are state specific - I know the residential lease is subject to certain state regulations and will be asking an attorney about it.
