Do we need a lawyers to look at our lease agreement, and are there other legal issues to be aware of?

An essential element of Abandoned in the legal sense is that the owner has either expressly (orally or in writing), or implicitly relinquished his rights to the property. 

First, I would subscribe to Pre-Paid Legal.

Hire a real estate attorney to check on the property to find out if there is a likelihood of re-zoning and other legal issues.

It was a mess. I

I'm talking about all the legal stuff.

I have done a lot of them, and would equate the extra work to doing an REO because there is a lot of paperwork, and phone calls with the lender involved, and in addition to that most of them require a lot of repairs, as these are already in foreclosure, and most of the time the owners have pretty much trashed the place, and it is a piled up filthy mess!

Hi;Please help me, if you can.After lasting 8 months legal case, I was left without any income, present or future , and what I saved is condominium in California, 500,000-600,000 worth, clean and free, but also this is my only home, where I am living for the last 15 years.I was talking to 4 different loan agents about my option for the loan .Local places, chosen random from Yellow Pages.Knowing my data, all of them gave to me the same loan amount for which I can qualify ($400,000) and more and less similar , very low in my opinion, payments options, basing on 30 years loan.($2200-$2500 range)However, when I checked with large banks, just filling up the application on line, with the same data , result of payment amount is even twice as much comparing with some of the estimates from places I called.Please tell me; are these small companies crooks ?

If someone had a $100,000 legal question, would they deal with it without the help of an attorney?

One of them even uses a respected attorney to do his double closings.I also would ALWAYS recommend getting sound legal advice from a qualified attorney in your state before doing any type of creative real estate investing.I also think communicating unverified or misinformed rumors around real estate laws is a destructive practice and should only be done with the utmost caution and reserve.
