A clear operating agreement will also need to be structured for the LLC and since I read the goal being that the relative is not to sign on the loan, they need to be kept at less than a 20% partner. 

A contract (lease) is only as good as the people that sign it. 

The other property is riskier due to its higher asking price, lack of signed leases, and structural issues to the duplex.

If you don't have much money to start, try driving for dollars, putting out bandit signs, and some other more time-extensive/cheaper methods.

These are all signs of a line leak that could be eroding the ground/foundation.  

What are the specific steps to wholesale that after the owner has signed that agreement? 

I probably lost over 100k in the 12yrs of owning said properties during the housing depression, i just dont want the same thing to happen again to me, so i have been trying to be picky with my selection of next houses, i have come close on a few, but due to not able to pay 100% cash on those deals i was beaten by another investor, but honestly i feel the market is just to high right now...I bought a house local to me for my mother 2 years ago that needed about 5k in repairs, for 100k even.. in 2 years the market is now saying this house is worth 133k, just seems like to high of a rise... 

I am looking/already have for the following:Realtor - Someone who is willing to work with out of state investors, and kind of guide me through the process of selecting good investment. 

I signed up for real estate express and they were great. 

In April 2018, I received an email with the following document attached and a phone call from his wife, stating that in order to "refinance and get paid back" I needed to sign the document.
