Quote from @Natalie Johnstone: @Jay Hinrichs do you happen to know a good attorney that specializes in such?

Just keep in mind, the costs of setting up and maintaining an LLC and the bank account that goes with it, not exorbitant but important to consider.I'm not a CPA or an attorney, but I would suggest taking the time to diligently put together a trusted team to facilitate your long and successful investment journey!

The "victim" calls a plaintiff's attorney.

Therefore you should speak with a local zoning attorney and architect to determine the viability of a use change.

Yes, turns out I do need an attorney in Dupage County if plaintiff is LLC ...

Make sure to hire an attorney to review both the A to B contract and the B to C contract.

I finally got an attorney to work without a retainer2.

We are already surrounded on three sides by urban zoned homes.My neighbors and I have been approached by two individuals, one is a neighbor who is a real estate agent, and the other one a friend of a neighbor, who works with a real estate attorney; both individuals asked us to join them in working with the 5-6 developers they have approached.

A few updates that didn't fit into the above post:The attorney who handled our closing offered to assist the sellers pro-bono in an effort to recover some of the equity.

Thanks,Steveif you ever need attorney referrals let me know I have a laundry list of attorneys
