Legal Support For Real Estate Investors And Nontraditional Lenders

Investors and private lenders drive much of the property market in Minnesota today. At Goerlitz Law in Woodbury, I provide the legal framework necessary to protect these high-stakes financial interests. My name is Jared Goerlitz, and I can help you manage the specific risks that come with creative financing and rapid property acquisition.

Common Litigation Issues For Private Stakeholders

Even the best investment plans can lead to legal conflicts. When you step outside of traditional banking, you often face unique scrutiny from courts and regulators. I will defend your position if a deal sours or a partner fails to perform.

Private lenders and investors frequently encounter these disputes:

• Contested foreclosures and challenges to loan priority
• Disputes over profit-sharing or joint venture agreements
• Title claims involving previous owners or unknown liens
• Litigation regarding “fix and flip” disclosure requirements
• Usury law claims or challenges to interest rate structures

I address these threats by building a strong defense early in the process. This preparation helps you protect your equity and maintain your investment timeline.

Strategic Transaction Structures

Successful investing requires more than just a standard purchase agreement. I assist clients in creating structures that maximize their protection while allowing for flexibility. Each deal requires a custom approach to ensure the legal documents reflect your specific terms.

I help parties implement various deal structures, such as:

• Contract for deed arrangements for seller-financed sales
• Private money lending with robust security instruments
• Multimember LLCs for syndicated real estate projects
• Lease-to-own agreements and option contracts

By drafting these documents carefully, I reduce the likelihood of future disagreements. My goal as your attorney will be to create a clear roadmap for every real estate transaction.

Unique Aspects Of Private Property Deals

Nontraditional deals move faster than bank-funded transactions. Because these sales often involve distressed properties, they carry a higher level of risk. You must balance the need for speed with a thorough review of the legal facts.

I look for issues that traditional lenders might overlook. This includes checking for municipal code violations or unrecorded easements. Consequently, you can make informed decisions based on the true state of the property.

How I Serve The Investment Community

I founded Goerlitz Law to provide the type of close, personal service that large firms often lack. I bring nearly 20 years of experience in corporate law and litigation to each client’s project. My history of working with developers and municipalities gives me a broad perspective on land use.

I will focus on building a long-term professional relationship with you. I can prioritize your financial success in every dispute and day-to-day business matter. This business-first mentality ensures my legal advice will align with your growth strategy.
