Is a RE Attorney Necessary

[Angela Ceresnie]

A partner and I are just starting out in TurnKey RE Investing and my CPA has suggested that we talk to a RE Attorney and that we have a separate LLC for each property. We plan to buy 4 or so homes this year. This all seems a bit overt the top to me, but I'm also wary of cutting these kind of corners as they can be pricey to deal with later (ie the cost of a lawyer is way lower than the cost of cleaning up a legal mess.)

Any ideas on this from the forum?  

Thanks!!

The properties that I own are in one LLC. But I would still consult a lawyer about your personal situation and understand the risks / costs with different strategies
