Christopher R. Lucas
In this challenging real estate market veteran trial attorney Christopher R. Lucas is known as "the closer" when it comes to restructuring and loan modifications which are so vital to survival in this soft commercial and residential real estate market.
Chris also has good tips for real estate investors: "Buy, buy, buy".
"The dropping market is the time to buy - when everyone wishes they had. Why? Because once the prices are rebounding, the bargains are gone. Those who buy before the rebound rake the profits. The time is now. Any other reasons? Well, why is gold so high? Because of very reasonable worries about inflation, which is the usual result of deficits. What else holds value despite inflation? Title to real estate".
To invest, you may have to fight for your accepted offer if others want to horn in. You want Chris Lucas on retainer to tie up the good deals you have confirmed before the bidding war. Then, you may have people living in the property you bought. You need experts to get them out. Legal proceedings to obtain possession are expert only territory. Have attorney Chris Lucas, aka the Closer, ready to assist before you lose months of valuable time while your new asset cannot perform as a rental or be resold.
