If you're just looking to fund a handful of deals a year you  may be OK (consult an attorney) but definitely do your due diligence.  

Consulting with a zoning attorney is advisable to assess the feasibility of your project and guide you through the necessary procedures.Hope this helps!

I can see real estate attorneys, insurance, etc. if they are smart.When I look at mixed-use, I am always building the vision around what one thing I am going to put in there for myself.

Friends, brokers, lenders, attorneys.

I have some great agents, contractors, property managers, and attorneys who I can refer you to!

I am not an attorney but I have studied this a bit so take it all for what it is worth.

I'm about to have to pay an additional $300 per LLC to my attorney who is my registered agent for my LLCs.

She's probably using one floating around the office, one you provided, or one she bought from an attorney that's full of legal jargon and missing important clauses.

I recommend you do a google search for "real estate seller financing" and educate yourself through some blogs, then have a conversation to see if the two of you can agree on terms that work for everyone.Be sure to use an attorney to draft the documents, not the same one the seller uses.

If you know local wholesalers or off-market specialists, their contracts have usually been vetted by an attorney.
