I live in Tacoma, WA…a lot of folks don’t want to deal with having to learn the local housing laws.

It is required by the law and the Code of Ethics.2) There is no such thing as not going through your brokerage when you have a license.

There is well developed  case law that points to a guarantor having to receive a benefit in order for the lender to hold them accountable in the event of a default etc.

Tax law requires it.

I am searching through all the BP threads trying to find the best fit for me in terms of asset protection/law/CPA firm that specialize in real estate investment and have narrowed it down to Anderson or KKOS/Mark Kohler.

As long as you are following the law and the lease, you shouldn't worry about lawsuits.

When I finally did this I found that I could invest in a market that had far better growth and for sure better landlord laws.  

The PM should be an expert on state law, and they should have policies and procedures in place to handle these situations.

Consider Hiring a Legal Expert- German property law can be complex.
