I’m relatively new to Florida and none of the attorneys I’ve used in the past are able to practice in Florida. I don’t need a legal superstar, just someone who is honest, ethical, and has reasonable fees. If they have an office in the Villages that would be great but driving as far as Ocala or Orlando would be okay.
I have many clients who own real estate in a LLC. No big deal to set one up - go to Sunbiz.org to set up an LLC. A few questions to answer The Florida Department of State is backlogged so it's about a week for them to process the filing.

Once the state has processed your filing and you can check this by going back on line to Sunbiz.org and do a search. Once this shows up you're good to go to the next step.

Go to IRS.gov, search for "online SS-4", complete the questions and you'll have a EIN instantly.

What you need a real estate attorney to help with closings and such.
