Hi,
I live in Bellevue, WA. I am lending money to a person to buy properties. I`ve gone through clauses but I want to get it reviewed by someone with knowledge around it.
Basically it states I am proving funds to purchase RE and share profit 50% each after expenses are deducted.
Hopefully someone can chime in with the RE attorney I have heard of but never used on the east side. I know from hours of money spent on real estate atttorneys who don't understand investing that they are far and few in between.
I found Doug Owens in Ballard who is focused on investors and stays up on the Washington RE laws pertaining to investing.

@Troy Fisher I have not used an attorney. I have reviewed contracts myself and had other investors review them and compared similar contracts against each other to make sure they all had similar verbiage. The first few I was sent were reviewed by attorneys (not mine) and trusted the people I got them from. Since then I have just made sure they were all similar.

Jerry Walker is the attorney I use for everything real estate, business entities, and lending. He's at the border between Bellevue/Kirkland/Redmond, right off 520.

Doug Owens is well known as the main sponsor for REAPs. I am ultra consevative as an investor and don't really do stuff (although not opposed to) land contracts, subject 2, sandwich lease options, etc. I haven't seen the need to do these things as I have access to lots of cash. Doug is on that very conservative non-creative side of things. Awesome negotiator not the best with details.
Bob Bartlett is a good real estate attorney in Magnolia.
