Seeing I have not done a tic, I have not used this lawyer myself but I suspect CA lawyers with TIC experience is likely limited.  

how much experience do you have?

Anyone else have experience with this?

Quote from @Amir Portal: Hi friends , i Would be happy if you could guid me from your experience on where to start whit a strategy of BRRRR in DFW

I will be quick to admit I have only had experiences with small rentals (6 units and smaller) so if you are looking for help on larger apartment complexes I would not be a great resource.

It sounds like you’ve been doing some serious groundwork with all the reading and research, which is such a strong start to your journey toward FI and retiring by 55.It’s awesome that you’re exploring real estate as an option, even if you’re not completely sold on being a landlord yet.

However, for the right situation and learning experience I would not rule it out. 

I would have been ok with the latter numbers because I have been stockpiling materials for like two months, but...I did not know if I could trust them due to the lack of "professionalism," and my lack of experience. 

As you read these books, watch the BiggerPockets podcasts.

I just re-read and realized you're talking about getting loans for lien position 2, is that correct?
