For example, I'm not too sure about how to actually find good deals/distressed properties, and how to actually find appropriate property managers, CPAs, lawyers, etc.I think once I get started and inertia starts to build up, things will make more sense, but it's that first step that I'm finding difficult. 

I can send you some lawyer referrals in Columbus, Ohio.

So, I dont have a ton to lose other than my civil costs, application to the city, lawyer, etc.

Hi BP,I am looking for any recommended RE / Fair Housing lawyers in Santa Clara County, CA area to assist with tenant/utility issue and write up a few custom lease addendums.  

The lawyers had to move with caution because he was becoming mentally incompetent and they didn't want to have him signing documents (malpractice).

I am meeting with a RE lawyer next week to get the paperwork going.

I've been calling around to real estate lawyers but can't get a call back - requesting recommendations on a lawyer that is willing to work with a small landlord. 

So they say "technically 7 days is the law" but you don't have to be a lawyer to see they're pencil-whipping an old statute about something else and applying just a select line of that to STR, which was not the intention of that reg.

And they know this low amount of money lawyers wont go after so it’s either we take the loss and it is what it is or we fight them about it.

Make sure to consult your immigration lawyer before proceeding.
