what is the best way to approach a RE attorney for the first time?
hey BP community,
i'm in the process of building my first RE investing team. i've identifed a strong local attorney (http://www.thehartlawgroup.com/maryhart.htm) who also happens to be an active RE investor.
i'd like to know the most efficient / least time-wasting way to approach her. my goal is to have her eventually draft lease option agreements, purchase contracts, memorandums of agreement, etc.
how do i help her help me and not waste any time?
another way of asking this (especially for all you attorneys out there): what do you like to hear when a real estate investor client contacts you?
