A lawyer might be able to answer this better, but most rentals fall under fair housing laws (there are exceptions) and that protects against discrimination based on familial status which means children or someone who is pregnant.

Would that look like a partner, General Contractor, CPA, Lawyer?

You'll also want a lawyer to draft up the docs for you and register your mortgage on title of the property being lent on along with the promissory note.  

I’m considering having a lawyer send them a certified letter, though I know that will still come with a significant fee, which is still preferable to full service.

We worked with a lawyer over there who is a US ex-pat who created and registered a local LLC for us, which owns our properties.

I consulted with a real estate lawyer a few times this year who said it's very hard to sue for negligence and they advised against taking legal action, especially since the property manager at least followed through on the eviction and repairs.I've now asked the property management company to apply a $4k credit for all the challenges I've had working with them.

Work with your commercial lender/insurer/lawyer/personal banker and see if they know of any interested parties.4. 

Stefano You need a team, buying a property is the easy part.as a Foreign citizen there is a tax FIRPA that you may have to pay and is 15% of Sale price.Need an accountant, a lawyer and a relator that understands that. 

A magistrate is the lowest level judge who deals with landlord/tenant and small claims cases but they don't even need to be a lawyer to get that position. 

I’m just saying get your lawyers lined up and signed off first.
