Happens all the time. Get local counsel for state specific items (e.g., recordable document review, opinions, etc.).

I’ve been on the other side of it and it’s a PIA. Had an attorney representing a buyer admit he didn’t understand the title work (spoil easements and their releases) also tried to threaten my 80+ year old client with dragging things out through litigation in a county where my client’s family knows EVERYBODY. Pointless posturing that put the deal at risk.

Assuming the following holds tomorrow, I expect we will get a call of AZ around 11:15am ET, and NV and PA around 12:15pm ET.

AZ: next batch of Maricopa ballots 55% or less for Trump
NV: Biden wins >60% of next batch of ballots in Clark County
PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.

Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

-Multiple investments that investors can determine whether or not they want to invest in
-One K-1 per investor based on their investments and income
-Ability for the Sponsor/Fund to invest directly, indirectly and in equity, debt, Pref, etc.
