Should I find a local agent or use a lawer?

Hey Jon would recommend checking out FB groups if you aren't local (looks like you're based in the Bay).

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Stairs are the only way to get in, no grab rails in the bathroom, ramps that are too steep, etc.From what I've read, all commercial businesses/buildings (including ones before the ADA was passed) have to comply with the rules, unless it would be outrageously tough to fix (like installing an elevator in an already built building).Are all these local business just not complying and taking the risk, or am I missing something? 

@Anade DavisHi Anade, You’re on the right track with reaching out to your survey and engineering company—they often have strong connections to local contractors.

I can put in touch with a couple of local insurance agencies.  

Hiring a contractor experienced in Apartment Renovation in New York is crucial, as they’ll know how to navigate local permits and space constraints. 

I am looking to connect with local (to myself) investors who have made the leap out of state. 

@Jason Khoury I purchased my current residence, a duplex, from a local non-profit about 5 years ago.

Thanks so much for your advice for a local lender.
