“the preparation of legal instruments and contracts by which legal rights are secured” is clearly an overly broad generalization, as that would literally include simple documents such as a Tenant Lease or a Note bearing Interest.Most FSBO sales occur w/o agents and are effected with an Offer To Purchase from unknown sources.A contractor creates BIDS for work and once accepted & signed, become contracts with a percentage deposit.Commerce per se would be brought to a standstill if the above assertion were true and we have sufficient impediments already.While @Dion DePaoli has an interesting background and kindly cites specific codes, he too is not practicing Law, so as many have suggested, seek professional Legal Counsel.

Your tax returns will typically include sufficient info about your LLC to demonstrate that you own the place either way.

So I don't.Right now, I have two cars in storage, I can't bring myself to spend the money on them at the moment for some reason, which is especially annoying as one of them I've owned for 24 years, even exported to the US, spent a vast (vast for a VW) amount of money on it ten years ago, and it's done barely 1500 miles since its rebuild.Yet I can spend money on a tool for the business in an instant.

think about working for a Realtor or property manager for income and for a vast wealth of experience!  

I also collect some preliminary info at that time and answer questions.You do need to take some info at the open house so you can associate the individuals with their application.The plus to this is by them having to take a application, fill it out and return it the vast majority simply throw them away saving you a lot of time in screening.

 Ever hear the phrase "a word to the wise is sufficient"? 

Was Legal Zoom sufficient enough?  

The funds that I'll have available will not be sufficient to make the purchase and I've read a bit of the following:purchases of this sort usually requires ~40% downmight be "easier" to go with private lenders than non-recourse mortgagesnon-recourse mortgages are a niche item and difficult to secure for a small time investor such as myselfSome of the top line questions that I have:how does one find non-recourse mortgage lenders?

They are no where near sufficient for determining what real projected expenses will look like and what kind of cash flow you can expect.

I have read many discussions here as well as numerous other places on the i-net about the vast array of courses offered on real estate investing.
