Actually I just met a colleague who is from the area I wish to invest in, and he introduced me to a company that is pretty much in line with your last post...no extra fees, babysitting fee and has a great reputation overall. Now that I've closed the loop on that part of gathering a team...the grind continues. Thanks

@Richard Montoya

Thanks for the feedback. I've been searching for a good service.

BP,

What are some of the main points you focus on when interviewing a real estate attorney?

@Dennis Tierney

Thanks for the input. I will continue shopping around but it just seem like most companies in the area are charging the fee. I agree with what you said though 100%.

@Dawn Brenengen

Thanks for the legal aspect. Didn't think about the tenant placement and such...

Hello BP,

What constitute a great real estate attorney? What exact answers are you looking for during an interview, and what specific questions should be asked? Or are all real estate attorneys created equal? (I know the answer to that one).

I was about to close on a SFH in Georgia a couple of years ago but once the title search was ran they kept trying to buy time. I took it as a sign to get out of the deal, also I had no friends or family there, the market just looked really good. Now I will only invest in my state where as you said you can have "feet on ground". As far as outsourcing PM to family, I don't think it's a good idea for me. Although family members have hinted around at being able to oversee property for me if need be, I think hiring family is a bad idea. I don't want to ruin relationships because of money/business. I just think family will get complacent at some point or another. Have you hired family before?

Sorry for your experience. Those are the stories that I've heard for years. Do you think the area the S8 homes are in could have something to do with the types of tenants? There are some areas out there now that you can't even tell that S8 tenants are living in because they're abiding by the rules and regulations of the program. Looking at the recent post, maybe the root cause for the types of tenants are a direct reflection of the S8 program in place for the assigned community.

Thanks for the awesome advice. That's definitely thinking outside the box. I'd never would have thought of the craigslist idea...thanks again.

@Teresa F.

Thank you for the advice. I will be sure to research that.
