I agree that you do need to find an attorney now that you trust and you can grow with - the costs should not be astronomical - especially if its just you as a the sole member in the LLC. 

Contact Kristi Fuller Law LLC.

Not sure how San Diego is but by me:1) In my area Small Claims is capped at 3K for suburbs and 5K for the City.2) In my area a business (llc) is not allowed to represent themselves in Small claims court, they have to hire a lawyer (More expensive)3) You are required to file claim where the person lives or owns a business.

But plan on creating an LLC for the next 3.I talked to my mortgage guy and told him I was planning on waiting until August to purchase next one.

If you don't have an LLC set up and are using an umbrella policy to protect yourself from liability do you want a policy limit greater than or equal to the amount of equity you have in your properties or greater than or equal to the property values?

Title must be in llc.

Also I'm going to start a LLC and buy the new property with the LLC.Does this plan seem feasible?

Within an LLC or outside an LLC but keep in mind that an LLC requires meetings, records, compliance,etc, etc. 

My first question is about building credit in my LLC through this private deal.

We just formed a LLC with 5 members with 100K each with intention of applying for 2M loan.
