You probably only need 1 attorney, because of your relationship with your partner, who will represent the "seller" for title and fiduciary purposes, and as the buyer you really don't need your own unless you feel like you need to protect your interests.You absolutely should not transfer this property back to a LLC once you own it, especially in the first year as a primary residence, but also because it's completely unnecessary.

Hey @Caroline Knight, feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat.

Feel free to connect. 

Anything short of separate metering is going to cause pain.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm wasting time with financial projections, especially when a minor adjustment can drastically change the outcome due to compounding effects.

If you are interested in chatting some more, feel free to reach out.

You can feel free to check out our website to get a sense of it all...Oakwood Lending (we do loans in NC--so things might be different in D.C.).

You're prepared to purchase up to 50 units but there's no money in the budget to go out there yourself and get a feel for the market?

Feel free to connect with me and ask any questions you have along the way, and I'll do my best to provide guidance and support.

Feel free to shoot me a DM if you're interested in chatting about real estate.
