Even "tax attorneys" are typically attorneys that defend you against IRS audits and lawsuits, not typically people you want to go to for specific tax advice.As @Logan Allec said, you want an attorney for forming business entities like LLCs for asset protection, or for drafting any contracts or agreements necessary for your flip business (partnership agreements, etc).

In fact it may actually complicate litigation in the event a claim were to arise while adding additional insurance expenses to your real estate operation.To explain why this is the case I’m going to ask one very simple question: In the event a tenant dispute, premises liability, or any other claim were to arise, what prevents the Plaintiff’s attorney from merely listing your wife who it seems is the property deed holder in your fact pattern as a Defendant?

That's for you to defend later. 

I use the term safe harbor - meaning if there ever is issues with it then the attorney you drafted it is gonna have to defend it.

If you think you need something that complicated, it might be best to get with an attorney to have this set up in a way that the attorney understands it in case it needs to be defended in court.

References from recent projects are just as important to make sure people are happy with their past work.You want to be signing a contract with the company who holds the license to be a general contractor so they have to defend their license if something goes wrong and is not done per terms of their contract.

Everyone is giving ideas that work (in their experience) and you are spending time and energy defending your current strategies.....which are not working.Is is possible your agent isn't the best for what you need to do right now?  

In 99.5% of the time the TLC will be paid off at some point as the lender wants to defend their position.If you really are buying a TLC in the home of getting the title make sure you know the rules.

Did a record search and found no liens, however there was a lawsuit made by the owner against the lenders/debt collectors, that was ruled in favor of the defendants and closed.

@Michele Orgell  while I am no way defending this guy don't know him..
