My primary goal is to find a legal partner who is responsive, reliable, and thorough, ensuring that all parties are kept in the loop and that closing can proceed smoothly without last-minute surprises or delays.I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable community for advice:Have you worked with law firms not based in the state where you were purchasing property, and if so, how was your experience?

His primary home is also in it's own revocable trust.I don't believe he has any asset in his own name, everything in separate trusts.I believe on each trust he is the trustee with his son as the first named beneficiary.He also carries A LOT of insurance, uses a top property management company and all of his properties are in higher-end areas.I was curious, if he's involved in a lawsuit related to one of his properties - I know the trustee has to be identified and usually the target of the suit, but are the properties in his other separate trusts protected.

In most cases the company that loaned you the money will report it to the 3 credit bureaus but this case is different.

I also talk to a local rental management company tomorrow to see what their projected rent would be for the property.

I'm wondering if anyone can provide references for a reliable handyman who is available for emergency calls as well future work in general.

Out of state can be difficult if you don’t have a reliable team in place.

Sometimes a title company can get you the HOA rules before putting in an offer.

Yes indeed mate.I probably would have fixed the rate also but "underwritten" the deal from a worst case rate scenario like I would do with SFH if financing.I'm not versed in large multifamily deals and would love to learn more.I think I could really do some "damage" in the field because I own and run a property management company and we run a tight ship that's very well optimized from an automation aspect and affiliate fee structure standpoint.So my bottom line for example buying a 50 or 100 unit would be much safer/higher due to in-house PM and "working" the margin.
