Investor Property - Realtor vs. Attorney

[Rudy Manna]

Hi All,

I am an new investor from Seattle area. I have a couple rentals in the market, and looking to buy 3-4 new rentals this year.

My target area is Tacoma, south of Seattle. I am reasonably familiar with the neighborhood. What I am wondering is whether I should go through traditional brokerage, or may be opt through a low cost attorney. Are there practical limitations on going with an attorney? I will consider fixers/short sales/REO for purchase.

Look forward hearing perspectives from fellow investors.
