I was just presented with a VERY similar situation @Matt Tobler (grandma is going into assisted living, family is looking to sell -- 60,000 purchase est. value 100,000)I have the cash for the purchase, great credit and income for the subsequent refinance, a team in place to help with a fix and flip exit strategy and also a rental portfolio that is professionally managed for a hold strategy. 

Essentially, want to get advice from a professional on asset protection (LLC?)

Seeing as I am a young investor, how do I present myself in a professional manner with investing contacts/questions so that I will be taken seriously?

Would like to discuss with a contractor, I know most are busy.Secondly, I need a professional tree trimmer for a multitude of trees to be trimmed around another property. 

well I think you answered your own questions. pretty muchplumber for plumbing issues.. you might want a electrician to do a quick walk through of your panel and check each receptacle make sure he did not switch wires..when they really want to be bad they will put concrete down your drain lines.. so if he did not do that .. then your good there.. but you may want to snake your lines anyway just so you know there in good condition.As for the haul off.. what I would personally do.. is go rent a small u haul go to the home depot parking lot or where ever your day laborers hang out grab two of them and have them haul the stuff to the u haul then go to the dump and have them empty the uhaul pay them and take them back to home depo parking lot.. also have plenty of water for them or Gatorade and maybe a sandwich.. that's how I would handle that.
