LEGAL
Real estate investing can be a precarious and unpredictable business. Most landlords will experience financial loss from a tenant who absconds owing rent or does property damages at some stage.
Other times, contractors will disappear after they have received payment, without ever completing the work. Sometimes they even disappear with all of the clients tools and equipment.
Property investors often factor these expenses into their opex and grudgingly accept the loss. Many investors are reluctant to take legal action because they lack experience handling legal matters pro-se and are deterred by the high cost of hiring an attorney.
At Athena Property, we believe that investors should take legal action against such decrepit individuals. We offer a paralegal service to assist you in pursuing these matters and obtaining a judgment against the debtor. Collecting on a judgement may not be as hard as you think!
Our paralegal team have handled hundreds of such cases for high profile real estate attorneys, so we have the experience and expertise required. We will send the initial letter of demand, prepare and file the complaint and summons with the court, as well as manage the service of process.
As a pro se litigant, you will need to attend the court hearing to argue your case. However, our staff can help guide you through this process.

Asset Protection
There is ample argument regarding the best way to hold real estate assets. Many assert that it is acceptable to own properties in your personal name with an umbrella insurance policy, whilst others say you need to have every property within an LLC.
However, neither option provides good asset protection. Most states do not offer legal protection for single member LLC’s. Moreover, both of these options provide zero privacy as the ownership information is on public record. This makes the investor a target for unscrupulous individuals looking for an opportunity to sue someone with money.
An excellent solution is a real estate holding company. The holding company is set up in a state with strong asset protection laws and anonymity of ownership. The holding company then owns and manages subsidiary companies in the state(s) where the real estate is located.
The holding company does not directly hold assets or conduct business, it’s role is to manage the subsidiary companies which in turn hold the real estate assets.
Many savvy investors choose to set up an additional operating company. The operating company is the entity which deals directly with the contractors and tenants, thus reducing the legal liability for the company which owns the real estate asset.
A holding company is a centralized way to manage multiple companies and is advantageous for accounting purposes, allowing for consolidated tax filing. The income from all of the subsidiary companies flows back to the one holding company, meaning only one tax return needs to be filed.
Athena Property can assist investors to set up a holding company and subsidiary local state companies. We will then prepare the deeds and send it to the county recorder office to transfer the properties into the LLC.

ARCHITERURAL DRAFTING
Architectural drafting is the very first stage of a construction project. To develop a design idea into a coherent proposal and to give concepts and ideas a concrete form, architectural drawings are required. They play a vital role in communicating ideas and concepts to others and convincing them of the merits of the design.
Athena Property offers full-service architectural drafting, providing both design and technical drawings from small scale residential projects, to large commercial build-outs. We provide architectural plans which are stamped by a licensed engineer and are ready to submit to the City building department for permits. This service is available in all 50 states.
We follow a multi-stage process which ensures a functionally superior and aesthetically beautiful building. Our architects and engineers are experts at designing plans for new construction, as well as drawings for remodeling projects. The client is consulted at every stage of the design process, so that the final product is sure to meet the client’s approval.
Construction Documents are the final product which produces drawings that the contractor uses for the construction of your project. Construction documents include a complete set of architectural drawings, including a site plan and details, floor plan, door types and hardware schedules, window details, building sections, walls sections, building elevations, as well as structural engineering drawings (foundation plan, structural members plan, framing plans) and MEP engineering drawings (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing).
Athena Property constantly strives to conceptualize brilliant, innovative designs. Our objective is to translate the aspirations of the clients into functionally efficient and aesthetically pleasing buildings. We convert the clients dreams into an eloquently crafted design that is ready to build.
