Different Types of Lawyers
Hey all,
I am new to the game and waiting to close on my first deal. While I anxious await, I am trying to get educated on items that I need to account for going forward. One of those items is to start a relationship with a lawyer for likely future needs. However, I am learning that there are at least three types of lawyers you may need as an investor. My question is, of these three types of lawyers, what are they typically used for:
- General lawyer (what's general stuff...?)
- Real estate lawyer (I am in Missouri so I don't have to have one for deals, but may for other reasons)
- Eviction lawyer (may be self-explanatory, but maybe not...)
Thank you
