This is a question for investors who, like me, do not live in the vicinity of the properties they are interested in buying, and must hire people to go take photos and video.

Politicians pander to the ignorant and uninformed, which includes the media.NAA is leading a big campaign right now to push back hard on Biden's "rent control everywhere" policy by blanketing Sens and Reps with voter feedback.

Would it be wise to hire a real estate attorney for all of the “dirty” work?  

Or will hiring a PM and reno team be a more realistic avenue for you (especially if you are looking for an area outside of where you are where the RE market may be hotter)After you find the answers to theses questions, I'd hunt down a great agent in your desired area and start searching! 

However my company was hired to install windows on one of her properties and after the work was completed I got nothing but radio silence.

I should hired my instructor to fix it but not go for insurance (since I didn't have insurance at that time). 

can you hire an attorney to review your contract?

Next time hire an agent to represent you.

Have a broker come in and say “ you won’t be able to rent this to non-smoking tenants without mitigation”Hire people don’t do it yourself.

If you run into challenges, call a different independent insurance broker - they usually rep numerous companies and I think you will find a solution.
