I need a lawyer who understands hard money  / private loans, both from a regulatory and documentation standpoint.  

Whether it is a good idea to directly approach a lawyer in open court like that depends entirely on local culture.

Then hired a lawyer to complete the process.

The representatives aren't looking to make a profit just cover the mortgage lawyer fees and a few other accounts totaling about 375,000.

You want clear communication from lawyers, contractors, etc.

I see a few issues and techniques there.First, you're going to need to put together a team in your target market - brokers, a lawyer, a manager, maybe contractors, an accountant (that can be local to you), etc..  

Hi Markese, Non lawyer answer: consult an attorney for both issues. 1.

Have her hire a lawyer to renegotiate the 2nd with a full pay settlement.

I'm currently creating a "cheatsheet" for the process of purchasing a new investment.I mean as for the team you need:- agent, inspector, contractor, lawyer etc- steps for finding deals is way to much- but after finding a deal, what to inspect, life-cycle of the deal, estimating the price cost, rehab cost, arv, rent etcThe more I could place on paper it would be better, I'll do it on google docs and share it for the professional comments and suggestion, but I could do that only after 10 posts :)

We have found properties  and a buyer but the problem we are finding is getting a contract or NC and wondering if we need to have a lawyer look at before we get started?
