I'd be very surprised if it says anything preventing him from buying a piece of real estate associated with his wife. 

If you only factor in that 30%, you're going to be unpleasantly surprised when you hit that 80% year.

I got my license because I didn't like the high commission rates agents charged, and I found it surprisingly hard to find a broker who would let me charge less.

I tried out homeserve because the sewer protection was $2.99/m and I used it once they sent out someone very quick I was surprised.  

(This should lower surprise assessments and help maintain buildings in safe condition.)The inspection results will be made publicly available through the state. 

@Melinda Francis - I know this sounds surprising but you don't have to have ALL the answers before starting. 

The condo surprisingly has no limit on rentals, as confirmed by my lawyer I could Airbnb it if I wanted to.

Anecdotally, I know a lender who has funded several flips that have turned into STRs and he says his client is doing very, very well which actually surprised me.

My primary goal is to find a legal partner who is responsive, reliable, and thorough, ensuring that all parties are kept in the loop and that closing can proceed smoothly without last-minute surprises or delays.I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable community for advice:Have you worked with law firms not based in the state where you were purchasing property, and if so, how was your experience?

And the rents obtained are surprising decent (not talking about in urban areas - namely run-of-the mill suburbia, etc).
