To navigate the nuance in the laws properly for compliance and to accurately structure our LLC, I am looking to consult with an attorney who knows immigration + business + tax laws. 

You may have your lawyer review the contract/property management agreement.

I fear the lawyers will become wealthy over this litigation...Overall, it's an interesting "solution" to the problem of foreign investment in real estate and the lack of adequate housing for the population. 

A mortgage lender can help determine if refinancing or tapping into equity might allow you to acquire additional properties.Consider a 1031 Exchange: If you're open to selling a current property, a 1031 exchange can defer capital gains taxes while enabling you to upgrade to a larger or more profitable asset.

That being said, lawyers aren't lenders, but they sometimes think they know everything.

My current lawyer has been a little hard to reach out. could you please let me know about how much is the cost?

All the best, Steven  If you're going to do a partnership or even a joint venture agreement I would highly suggest using a competent lawyer to draft your business agreement.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

I like not worrying about being sued even when the local 2-bit lawyer tells me he is going to sue me (which he has done multiple times). 

I turn over to my insurance company and they are paying for the lawyer to fight the lawsuit.
