Also, magistrates don't even have to be lawyers to get the job!

It might be worth talking to a lawyer but not sure if it's small claims or worth it.Also, you might already have all of these things but for future prevention:- smart thermostat (so you receive alerts when the inside temperature dips below whatever preset you have)- Minut (or similar device) would also alert you to the inside (and outside) temperatures; for example, I have 2 devices inside the house and outside on the hot tub deck.

I am debating using my local lawyer vs. finding a lawyer in the state where the property is located.

But theses people were in large part those with means, so all it takes is the lawyers to whoop people up enough and it's a tornado of suits upon suits upon suits. 

I see lawyers fees cancelling out this years rent increases quickly. this is a business, and I would always expect unhappy customers to push back - a good business worthInvesting In will satisfy customers while still making a profit.

Lawyer’s wet dream. 

If you need the lawyer's name let me know.So now I'm sitting on owning an empty lot and still making loan payments.

I have invested $0 dollars into real estate investments but am on the cusp of investing $50k into my first multifamily syndicate (we're closing within a couple of weeks).I'm looking for a CPA to answer a few of my questions and a lawyer to look over the documents I need to sign for the deal.One of my main questions is, I've been told I'll receive a K1 statement and that my monthly returns will be tax free. 1) Is it true they will be tax free? 

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. 

If you're investing in real estate out of your home state don't you have, at minimum, a Realtor, Contractor, Property Manager, Lawyer, etc. in the state where you're looking to create a local presence?
