Important Questions For Real Estate Attorney

[Jerilyn D.]

Hi Fellow BP'ers!

I am relatively new to this site, new to investing, and new to the state of Georgia (Can I be ANY greener? Lol!). I sold real estate for many years in California, and am licensed here in Georgia. I am trying to get my feet wet in this investing arena, and am trying to set myself up for success. I am in the process of hanging my license with an investor-friendly brokerage here in Georgia (Thank you! @J Scott ). As of right now, my goal for this year is to purchase at least one "buy-and-hold" property, and fix and flip at least 2 properties. I believe that there also will be some wholesaling involved, as I'd like to create a steady flow of income over time. I made an appointment with a real estate attorney for early next week, and I am hoping that you seasoned investors will help me devise a list of important questions for the attorney to answer. I know that it's important to ask the attorney if he has experience with contract assignments, double closings, etc, and I know it's important to know his fee schedule, but beyond that I am hoping that you will all help me out. I appreciate your input!! : )
