I purchased my first home last January in the Fort Lauderdale art district.

I'm diving back in to real estate after a 7 year hiatus in which I built my Reclaimed Wood Art and Decor business, ivegotahammer, and it's offshoot, The Golf Artist.I've been inspired by my son who has been crushing it wholesaling in our area, and we've decided to partner and do some flips together.

Built a state of the art composting toilet.

Totally beats the SRO I live in in Arts District during the winter.

I mention this because working with a lawyer (or any other professional for that matter) is an art.

There are specialties however, so I would just ask about their experience with Real Estate investors of the type you are working with, and maybe typical client base questions, so you can recommend people who focus on that, instead of, say fine art collectors, or restaurant owners. 

Do you know how to run comps - which is as much art as science? 

This becomes much more of an art than a science.

@ Lynn M you are very savvy and studied in the art of flood.And you are correct you sometimes can transfer a FEMA policy to the new owner (if the lender allows).
