Start by talking to a cross-border CPA and attorney to handle taxes and legal structures properly.

Does anyone know of a good resource for this type of rental or a good contract attorney?

If not, I most definitely would reach out to the tenant, introduce myself and ask if they are going to be out by the 31st or the 1st, I would communicate  to the tenant as if I know they were told they are expected to leave, otherwise you may find they "do not know" they need to leave even if they actually know they need to leave....In the case they claim they are not aware they need to leave, you would need to follow the laws in the state you purchased the property, usually you can find that info on the states judicial branch or speak with a landlord tenant attorney. 

Just have one LLC for all your properties for the most simple/easiest way to buy investments (not an attorney and not legal advice). 

You'll probably get some good ideas here, but I'd suggest talking to a real estate attorney soon and maybe run some of these ideas by them.

If you are syndicating or partnering with other investors to fund a Sponsor's deal and you are a company doing this (LLC, partnership) then get a PPM attorney and file with the SEC. 506B is easiest but if it is really risky...then 506C is best. 

I think that is more of a question for your attorney and the answer will likely vary by state.

Agree to allow the firm’s “entry level” attorneys handle your cases or as allowed by law their clerks?

Might want to check with a local attorney to verify. 

We discussed this in an earlier post.Obviously, if loans are being made without any provision in the Operating Agreement, it’s time to get in touch with your State Securities Protection Division - usually a part of the State Attorney General Consumer Protection Agency.
