A US attorney would be of ZERO assistance to you. I don't know the answers to the rest of your questions, but suggest you do a lot more research into things before you get much further. The term is "fee simple", not free simple, but not sure that term really applies in SXM. Government long lease also would have nothing to do with you, purchasing a condo. I know some of the companies do a presentation of a couple hours to give out more info, which you should look into.
