Some of the units require renovations and I’m just trying to figure out the most cost effective way to do this without putting a huge hole in my pockets.

I would love for this person to be able to counsel us on our entire portfolio (retirement, mutual funds, AND real estate), LLCs, do our taxes, and offer RE professional tips.

It felt like we were being to forced to accept but the attorney couldn’t clearly explain any of the reasons/options at the time so we opted to find other counsel.

I went into my first partnership with us writing our agreement and not being represented by counsel.

The carrier selects the defense counsel, weighs in on litigation strategy & decides when to settle claims.

Which strategies have proven most effective for beginners?

.- They had their corporate counsel review the lease and request a few changes.

Should you or your counsel choose to proceed in this direction, I am fully prepared to assert those rights and respond accordingly.Finally, since your attorney was copied on your original message, I suggest that legal counsel focus their attention where it is most urgently required: on the dozens of investors who report being owed significant sums, many of whom are months past due and organizing for collective legal action.I decline to retract my statement and reserve all legal rights available to me.Sincerely,Daniel Desrosiers Nice !

I’m working on getting my first doors under management and would love to hear from others about what worked best for them in the early days. Was it networking, direct outreach, referrals, or something else entirely?
