I will definitely have more questions in the future, and I appreciate all of the kind welcomes so far.

Thanks, that's kind of what I figured.

JasonYour #1 kind of already covered this....# 3.

As for a lawyer, I'm not sure what kind of help they would be.

Does that put me under some kind of obligation to use the agent who sends me the emails as a buyer's agent if I find something I like?

If you spend any time on this site or reading about what we're trying to do, you'll notice that our goal is to make those kinds of events obsolete.We've spoken with several potential speakers who indicated that they would need to have some time to promote their company, and we let them know that we weren't interested in having them any more.

I issue them for anyone who receives any kind of payment from me.

Thank you for your kind words Raymond!

When I filled out the paperwork for the trust with NO PROPERTY in it and tried to get it notarized (so that it would have validity), I was told that it couldn't be notarized since it was incomplete.So, since I can't get the empty trust notarized, I'm kind of stuck.How do I handle this?

I don't know any way around this other than to expect this kind of lending to continue, price it in on the buying side, and do the repairs prior to listing on the selling side.
