Anyone know average real estate attorney fees for a buyer in Manhattan?

Quoted at $3,500 with closing scheduled. Tbh they didn't do much so I'm frustrated but it may be too late to negotiate?

Seems like a fairly commoditized business so what reason to even go for a more premium service. They didn't get any of the things they would go for - CEMA, contingencies etc

Commercial real estate question. When a residential property will likely zone commercial in the coming years, do we, the owner, wait for a buyer/developer to contact us?

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

If you living currently in a home and looking to buy another home but plan to put only 10% on the new home, can I pay the remaining 10% after selling my existing home in 1-2 months .. and get the PMI

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

Any investors in the woodlands Texas for single family homes, rent looks good as per Zillow , good school district and houses are still affordable compared to Dallas and Austin

Thinking about investing in a 3-4 unit building in Chicago (Jefferson Park, Avondale, Bridgeport, etc.). Is the upcoming winter a good time to do so?

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.
