Looking to hire an attorney

[Jared Potok]

Hello everyone

Anyone feel that having an attorney that lives in the state where the property is (large multifamily)  is better than one that is only licensed in the state. 

im looking for an attorney to have on retainer and can't decide   ( obviously experience matters) 

Thx

I have both...a lawyer that is local to my properties that I can call when I need him and we hired Anderson Advisors based in Las Vegas, Nevada that do all of our LLC and trust structures and advise us on tax planning because they have CPAs and bookkeepers in the firm too. I pay Anderson a regular retainer and pay my local lawyer when I need him. Anderson Advisors are very knowledgable on investor issues and tax planning for RE investors and my local lawyer isn't really that good at more complex investor issues but he is excellent with local issues and has an extensive local network. Hope that helps!
