wow. did you guys see the stuff recently that the media were afraid to touch, about 30 states declaring sovereignty, putting into legal writing that they WILL NOT give up their right to own guns, and WILL NOT be drafted into any kind of federal military.re: really big numbers, I have heard the bigger the lie, the more likely people are to believe it, I think that is why Obama has been so successful with all his huge BS, it's unbelievable. the economy is not nearly as bad as they make it out to be on the media. there's a serious problem within the system, and right now, this system seems to be running (or bribing) Washington, and from there affecting main street.

This is done to protect everyone from anyone doing things legally but so fast that you do not have an opportunity to protect your claim.

What steps should I be taking to make sure I have all of the legal and clerical things done correctly in order to make the deal happen.

Not sure how many cities/states have a requirement, but I would think it would be on the low end.Just remember.....make sure you get the deal going....then worry about the legalities later....

Before you go any further with numbers, examine your attitude here.

Any thoughts on the legal implications of this?

Even with these other plans, you'll need some legal help.The type of plan you use will depend on the type of investing you want to do.

I have been a lender since 1975 and I still use six different law firms to keep on top of legal and compliance issues.

Although im not serious right now about buying property, it would be a good idea to examine the numbers and go through the properties?

I don't do this because of the bookkeeping, although it turned out to be easier to do the books in a LLC, but because of hopefully the legal protection it gives me.
