Buying a property with tenants
Good morning!
I recently put a duplex under contract. I have experience as a landlord, but this is my first time buying something that already has tenants. My lawyer told me I could handle some of the tenant items myself, such as the leases and rents. For them to do it would be another $1,000. My question is whether this is something that is easy enough for someone who is careful and diligent to take care of themselves or if I am just way better off paying the lawyer. I don't mind doing the late work provided it's procedural, but I'd rather pay the lawyer than create a problem for myself.
