What is your experience in this asset class? 

Make sure to reach out to one with real estate experience.

Share your experiences, dos and don’ts, and success stories.

I don’t have any specific issue to deal with at this time, but I want to get to know the attorney and their experience and skill set.

As a licensed realtor and investor here in the Cleveland market, I have plenty of experience working these deals and always eager to help others on their real estate journey.
