HelloDoes anyone have any recommendations for a good real estate attorney that has experience handling a double close and assignment contracts located in Central NJ?

As to the handling of the fee, if it was a third party general contractor it would be paid to that person.  

@Jami MortonWhen I read your post above, It sounds - please correct me if I am wrong - as if you have a pile of IRA money and are out investing without much education.There is much more to navigating the tax code related to using a self directed IRA than "can't be for personal use".I hope your custodian or advisor provided you with some introductory guidance as to the rules for self directed IRA plans and/or that you have a good CPA or attorney guiding you.Flipping with a self directed IRA can be very profitable, but is an advanced strategy.All IRA transactions must be entirely at arm's length, meaning you can negotiate and make decisions, sign contracts, and handle expense and income transactions, but may not benefit in any way OR add benefit to the IRA through the provision of goods or services.  

We offer properties that are renovated with tenants in place already cash flowing and can continue to handle the property management for you.

Landlords are always held to a higher accountability.Immediately find a real estate attorney to file and or handle your eviction. 

Hi Mike,United Properties' service division is able to handle all manner of projects.

My thoughts are if you were not cashflowing before how will you handle the additional line of credit?

Also, ensure that the risk is something you will be able to handle if things do not work out.Good luck!

I use a different lawyer for landlord tenant matters than I do for real estate closings, but if you asked them if they handle real estate matters they'd both answer "yes".

I do handle all the finance myself, though, (i.e. depositing rent, bookkeeping, preparing leases/contracts, etc.).
