The big stuff is gone and if anything does come available Mom and Pop know what it is worth.  I

Given your comments "A rent increase of almost 40% is unconscionable" and "Also, SCI paid more than what this park is worth" I am forced to conclude that you have inside knowledge of the parks financial operations.

@Aaron Wade Your net worth is your network.

Any tips anyone can share on how to find a reputable and trust-worthy contractor and/or a lawyer who can write up less riskier work contracts?

So I would encourage you to adjust your expectations starting out and develop the discipline of saving money so that every month your net worth is higher than the month before.

Therefore, unlikely to be a guru...or even worthy mentor of any. 2) Don't quote, but within the first 10 seconds or 1 minute of the webinar I could have sworn him say he only has or has "only" made $1.2Million of his own money. 3) If since he as a wholesaler (one of his dozen professed niches) has all this software, which can identify motivated sellers, has a network of buyers, has so many structures and systems in place, then what in the world would he need us for.

You can also find reliable, more than worthy, creative, legal and ethical basic as well as advanced real estate courses on line!

(seriously, it is legit "last meal" worthy". 

im in Orange County CA and there is a huge market here for room by room rentals here. i've been doing this for quite some time (over a decade now), and it certainly has its pro's and cons. my advice if you go about this is make sure you do proper vetting before moving someone in... not only for financials/ credit-worthiness, but also for temperament and expectations in a co-living space. we ask a lot of questions like "how do you handle conflict?"
