I just need the what and the where and the technical know how to execute. 

I moved from abroad to USA 2 months ago (from Poland, originally I'm from Belarus) and now living in Miami, FL, having my greed card.I have no real estate background, my carrer abroad was focused on IT sales, such as software and hardware products & services.

For some background...I am currently a renter in the City of Chicago and am new to real estate investing.

Also keep in mind its 24 months technically not 2 years, so as long as you have 24 months of the past 5 years (does not need to be consecutive) Your good

You technically if you live in the property could be evicted as you are not a tenant or have any ownership, you are a squatter. 

I understand that because I will be taking on an existing lease, I will most likely not have the opportunity to do my own full background check.

Purchase price: $588,000 Technically a duplex but its a single family home with an ADU built into the home using the space above the garage as the ADU living space.

I’m not out to waste anyone’s time, and I realize that’s probably about right for an hour of an attorney’s time in my area, but I’m just looking for a bit more info on the attorney’s background to see if it’s a good fit.

But these are technicalities, and you still do not "lose" anything.PS.

Given your background in ground-up development, you've got a solid foundation.For LPs, a target IRR of 12-13% is pretty standard and attractive, especially in the current market.
