@Dakota Workman yes you should probably have a lawyer.

This is a general question: for example, In the UK, when buying a property, a lawyer is always involved to check permits and legal matters—buyers aren’t expected to know everything themselves.Is there an equivalent role in the U.S.?

Would you be able to recommend a lawyer who could handle evictions on behalf out-of-state investors in Ohio? 

Consult a lawyer, but do not be surprised if this is more work and cost than it is worth.As others have stated, I suggest you use your va loan.  

Contact Scott Horne , a Texas based lawyer if the property is in Texas.

I have even received 2 different opinion from lawyers. thx u 

Any referrals or advice on what to look for in a lawyer for this type of dispute would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance!

I'm no lawyer at all, but If I were them, I'd argue I don't have a basement because I filled it in. i know it's different, but if a had filled in a pool or septic and it's not in service, I'd consider it nonexistent.

I sent a letter to evict and a volunteer lawyer returned saying I can't evict because I'm techinicslly not living there..

Quote from @Dan Levy: My loan was transferred to Selene Finance, and it's a nightmare ever since.I have many different loans with various lenders, millions paid with no problem, but with Selene it just doesn't work.Selene has misallocated funds and sent me letters that I owe them, but every time I call in they say “oh we see the problem and will fix it” only to have to call again and explain the whole fiasco and them tell me that they will check.2 times we agreed on the sum I owe, I paid it in full the same day, only to have it returned to me a few days later, and after calling them again, they said that they did the calculation wrong.I'm on daily calls with them for months now, nothing is solved, and they keep charging me penalties for not paying in time, payments they refuse to receive and return although sent after their request.After hundreds of hours over the phone, I think my only solution is to take a lawyer to help me.Any recommendation for a good lawyer who can help me with that?
