Thank you for sending painters, general handyman, plumber/sewer.

I am having some trouble finding a reputable attorney in Southern California, around the Orange County area, that understands real estate investments, syndication, and appropriate business structures.

I think it is awesome you have your eyes set on the future and want to set yourself up for when you feel you are ready to invest.It seems that you are looking for a "mentor" that will help you learn the fundamentals as you progress which is great; however, a lesson I learned is that it is difficult finding a reputable mentor without offering some sort of "value."

There are some things you can do to protect yourself, such as getting multiple estimates and sticking with contractors that are reputable (for example, I found that sites that have a rating that contractors need to maintain like Angie's List provides better contractors versus places like Craigslist where it's the wild West.).

My boyfriend is a plumber so i've been trying to learn the basics in hopes that my knowledge will come in handy later down the road. 

Management seems low...never seen a reputable firm below 7% of gross rentsYou have an ARV of $400k, but your analysis says CAP places value at $323K...if the value is $323k, and you pay $370k?

When I do acquire properties from the sale, the cost to “qt” the title from a reputable law firm is always factored in.

I value my reputation more than anything I could say in 10 seconds.

In the process of doing this BRRRR I had to deal with a broken water supply line at 6 am, a roofing contractor that didn't do a good job and left my roof leaking in various spots, and a call from my new tenants saying that the house was flooding because apparently, as we found out later, the plumber didn't weld the copper supply lines to the shower valve correctly and water was coming out from the wall.
