I get how valuable your legal partners can be, but judging from a lot of the posts on here that are akin to "I've decided to remove my own appendix and save money...does anyone know where I can get 10-blade", most real estate investors will struggle to understand your value.

Over the past two decades I’ve expanded and contracted the numbers of LTR and STR I’ve kept in my portfolio, but I recently looked at a house I need to renovate a bit and realized that I bought it this week in 2005.
