The first thing is have a description of the types of things you want the attorney to do.

From your description I think $80k is more than enough, although I don't know the sq ft nor have I seen the house myself.

I would not have quite the faith you evince in the veracity of a listing description of a property being sold for under $19,000.

That is the best description I can paint it as. 

David is correct,even I managed to figure that out by reading the IRS descriptions and rules.You need to find a real CPA.

We do not recommend basing important business, legal, or real estate transactions solely on this information without receiving validation and interpretation of the data from staff at your nearest LADBS branch office.And here is a different cities description of a property profile.Property Profile is designed to provide the public with useful information about a parcel's location and jurisdiction, General Plan designation, Zoning, and other data of interest.

I know that this isn't a very comprehensive description, so please comment as to any key questions that I need to answer for you in order to give the best advice.Thanks in advance!

I suppose you could do the same if you have an office.I wouldn't "call it in" in front of them saying "you'll hear from me at 11:45" and give a vehicle description/license plate.... that would creep me out if I was a tenant.

From the descriptions of these places though, I hope he's getting better than a 6% return on his money.

First, there is no state format for a land description.
