RE Lawyer local to property state best practice?

[Samer Jaber]

Hi BP Community,

I’m looking into my first out-of-state multi-family partnership with someone that already has experience in the local market and connections to the operational teams required to make out of state investing successful. I am debating using my local lawyer vs. finding a lawyer in the state where the property is located. Is it too much of a hurdle for the Local, Esq. to review the local law? Obviously this depends on whether Local, Esq. is willing to do it (and whether there is a state-specific bar requirement just for this type of work), but I want an outside perspective first.

Thanks,

Looking in Baltimore
