I'm new to the bigger pockets family.

Be sure to take some time to really drive around neighborhoods in these areas, as the east side of the river is still really hit or miss with pockets of drugs and otherwise trashy/ sketchy areas.

OK I see in another thread your asking about lease options.. and probably sandwich lease options and your lawyer is sizing up your financial ability to execute on your contract when the person you lease to stops paying you which is highly probable.. so that's probably good advice unless you have deep pockets and can cover a mortgage or lease payment for the time it takes to evict have the money to rehab the house once the tenant trash's it and then lease it again.most who try these schemes do it because they lack capital and undercapitalized investors fail most every time.this is what the lawyer is thinking.. how to you get through a default.

If your partner does anything that he/she could be liable for and it can in any way be tied to the partnership, if you have the deeper pockets you will be the one sued.You are not really saving much by not forming an LLC.

She pockets a few thousand at the end of it and we get a decent property.
