The benefits of retaining a real estate attorney for Rehabbing

[Paul Hansen]

Hello BP members,

I was wondering what advice is out there on retaining a residential real estate attorney for Fix & Flips. 

For example, 

Is it important to hire an attorney to set up an LLC?

What aspects of the Fix & Flip process do real estate attorneys benefit? 

Do most investors have an attorney representing them? 

What fees do attorneys charge and when? 

Does the benefit outweigh the cost? 

Thanks for your advice and insights.
