It will have to be filed by a lawyer.  

Our lawyer says he would "discuss" it with her lawyer.

I've spoken to quite a few banks and even a credit lawyer that told me if I where to do that I can probably see those type of increases in a year.

Incorporate correctly (Hire a lawyer if you don't know how).

End result was the same - they start feeling comfortable and either dont show up anymore or start increasing their quotes to no end knowing i have "so many houses". in the past i have paid guys more per hour than i have paid my lawyer and i was bothered by the fact that they thought that quoting $200 per hour is going to fly.so, what's a fair pay per hour for kitchens, baths, light framing, doors and windows, etc?

Boston Wealth Builders is another good one typically done in Dorchester/Boston, and presents topics that are useful to beginner investors (incorporation, finding the right lawyer, etc.). 

I'm not a lawyer, but I do know of this situation of a seller doing an installment sale or option and then coughing up a commission. 

As for when I do get started, I plan on using an agent, contractors(ones that have a proven record), a property manager, a lawyer(my best friend's dad is a lawyer who has experience in real estate), and a property manager also.

And yes, a lawyer is a key component in most states and other states don't work at all like TX and MI.Haven't done it, the theory seems strong.

Lots of times these records can be found on the Clerk and Recorder's website, but if not you may have to go to their office.Having a trust does not mean they are sophisticated, but merely means that they have a lawyer.
