How do you find a reputable attorney?

Michael Spindler - you will need a plumber as well, lol.

You have to consider electricians charge about $100 per hour, plumbers are close to that, and construction crews go about $65 PER MAN on the job.

When my Grandmother was an agent, it drove her insane and she stated that her reputation suffered for the low ball offers she was forced to submit.

Also common: landlords who don't address the extra maintenance required at the coast and end up with a rotten building and a bad reputation.

If I get a call from a tenant, I simply call a plumber, handyman, HVAC guy and send them over.

Plumbers may give you cut rates as well as other trade professionals and some simply volunteer.

Real estate markets are carefully monitored by local investors in any market no matter how much of a dump the location may be.Could be a cloudy title (contested ownership), astronomical tax liens, unpaid bills tied to the property, major deferred maintenance, or any number of crazy things going on.Call a reputable company in the region and a full appraisal or two can be done for 2-400.
