So, do they really want to hire a lawyer to try and fight you, and have their credit wrecked in the meantime and have a terrible landlord reference? 

They are provided with contracts to use which are developed and vetted by real estate lawyers within each state and updated regularly to stay current with changing laws. 

If the rate is reasonable then it may make sense to try to save fast to get to the 3.5% down payment on a double or triple - househacking may allow you to increase your savings rate and pay down that loan even faster.As for estimating costs, closing in NY factor at least 1% of the mortgage amount for tax, plus $1500-2000 for lawyer, title and fees, then the amount required by the bank for escrow will depend on the actual property taxes and insurance.

Probably too small of a sample set here on BP, ask your lawyer or CPA to review

Can a lawyer do this or this has to be done by an accredited IRA accomodator?

Should I get a lawyer???

I have meetings with my lawyer to discuss partnership contract and acct for the financial piece.Since this is extremely new, I am building a team of a contractor, broker, loan officer, accountant, Lawyer and investors. 

I am search for an eviction lawyer but base on the court date and I am having a hard time finding an lawyer. 

.: In my (non lawyer) experience John is correct here.

Some rental-property owners who never needed an attorney may soon have a landlord lawyer on speed-dial.
