Find a Good Real Estate Attorney
You need to take the time, effort and energy to find a good real estate attorney that will work within your real estate investing business. This attorney should be able to work with your creativity and will work with your questions to come up with solutions to any and all problems or concerns.
There are a lot of real estate attorneys out there. There are a lot of people that want your business, but you cannot work with everybody. A general rule of thumb that I like to use is if I don’t think that I can go to lunch with somebody and have a good conversation at a lunch table, it’s probably not somebody that I want to do business with. I want to be able to sit down across the table with this person and have a decent professional conversation about business and maybe a little conversation outside business as well. You need to find a good real estate attorney that understands you, that understands your creativity and that will work with you.
There are a lot of real estate attorneys out there that do not understand what we, as real estate investors do, and therefore, because they don’t understand what we do, they simply think that what we’re doing is wrong or illegal and they tell us, “No, you cannot do this.”
Well, if somebody tells me no, then I want them to prove to me it won’t work. If a real estate attorney tells me no, then I want them to show me why this is wrong, why something is illegal and provide the written documentation stating such. I’ve had that told to me many, many times. But then I go and I find another real estate attorney that tells me, “Sure, you can do this. We just need to do this, this and this.”
So, whenever somebody tells you no, don’t obviously just assume that it’s no because it’s not in most cases. It doesn’t mean it’s wrong just because a real estate attorney says it is, professionals aren’t always right just because they claim to be, make them accountable to what they say. It’s just like getting a diagnosis and having different doctors have various ways to treat the illness. That’s why so many times you hear others recommend getting second opinions. So, spend the time to find somebody that you can work with successfully who can understand what you’re doing and work with you to find solutions to problems when problems occur.
Okay, there are lots of real estate attorneys out there. Go find one that works best for you. You can start by referrals. Referrals are a great source. Simply make it known that you’re looking for a good real estate attorney and eventually you’ll find one. It took me at least a half a dozen or so real estate attorneys before I finally found one that I was comfortable with.
If you work at it, if you ask around, you’re interviewing them just as much as they’re interviewing you. They work for you. You’re paying them. So, find somebody that you can work with based on everything we just talked about.
