If a family member is lending me money to go towards a downpayment on my next investment, do I need a lawyer to create the promissory note?

How would using a SEC Lawyer help me acquire capital to purchase multi family commercial properties (10-20+ unit apartment buildings).

@Steven Harris I did pretty much exactly what you did but back in 2019 (and from Hawaii)..My "nest egg" also proved to be a lot less effective than I'd planned.

In this case, you leverage the property you are in so you still have money left over.The other option is utilize the cash to do the BRRRR strategy in order create more cash flow and have the mortgages covered so it doesn't effect your debt to income ratio for when you get your personal residence.That's the joys of real estate, you have options.

Any recommendation for real estate lawyer in Des Moines, IA area ?

Owned one SFH near Charlotte, NC 2008-2018 rented with property manager and sold to tenant  thru lawyer  in 2018  to purchase primary residence.

This clears that air of mold and stops mold from spreading on walls/surfaces.I've previously used bleach/vinegar to try to get rid of mold on my own and it wasn't nearly as effective, which is why I leave it to the professionals.

Margin interest example$187,000 for 6 months (180 days)Multiply loan amount by the effective rate: 187,000 x 7%Determine the daily interest amount: $13,090 / 360 = $36.36Calculate the interest due after 180 days: $36.60 x 180 = $6,588 + additional funds / holding cost interest for for rehab budget

But they had lake effect all winter.

So was having your lawyer reach out, again, worth the try.
