@Alex Sanchez There is a few on this board - I would give them a call.

Hmm...I know I have seen framed mirrors repainted as chalk boards. 

I have had a spectacular failure that I hope to never repeat, that I have described on these boards before.

@Andy Petzold  Hey Andy, we have met before at REM Iowa advisory board meetings. 

A few weeks later they called the board of health on me.I review the items from board of health, and they are very ridiculous.Example, stain on the ceiling (need repair), the toilet seat is old and not smooth (need repair), tenant has no access to the basement, I don't post my contact information in the building ... etc.What is your opinion on this matter if you have encountered it in the past?

Look up the California equivalent of the Board for Contractors on the State website, drill down to the requirements and rules, and see what issues you can include in a complaint.I will say that some AHJ's don't have the resources or time to pursue contractors but you may be able to give the GC a few headaches along the way. 

I look forward to getting to know folks on the board.  

Welcome to the board and welcome to the game... er... business.

So like any other co-op, he needed to get approved by the board before we could close.

It sounds to me like you are basically charging a 20% advisory/ underwriting fee.
