Just met with my lawyer who previously served for me a Notice to Quit which succeeded without further ado last year and those tenants vacated.Surprisingly, he seemed to recommend this time around I not retain him (since it would cost $2000 retainer just to start the eviction on these default tenants who are in breach including drug activity) and instead use an eviction support service rather than attorney.

I'm currently a lawyer, but don't get too excited because my focus is criminal defense and the only real estate contract I've ever seen is the one for my own house.

Hi @Stephan HaasI honestly can't think of a post where I would recommend getting a lawyer more.I would recommend getting one and doing exactly what they say and nothing more.

I need a good, experienced RE lawyer to review my business structure and help me draft forms that will allow me to assign lease option contracts.

I am dealing with former low-income tenants who have a free lawyer.

I personally would get a lawyer involved and would not do anything until I have the rights to the property.

Do you have a good roofer or lawyer to recommend also?

We have a contract drawn up by a lawyer and the understanding is we are business partners first friends second.If that does not work for them then they move on but if they go forward they understand that  friendship has no place in the business partnership.

I am looking to invest in rental properties back in Pennsylvania but would like to talk to a "local" lawyer and CPA regarding setting up my business entity and record keeping for investing in PA.

However outside of the med students doctors and lawyers there is a lack of good blue collar jobs, corruption is rampant, miles and miles of poverty.
