I'd recommend attending CTREIA events.  

Like to hangout with my wife and 1 close bud mostly, lol.Hey if you got some good recommendations for LA county I'm all ears!

However when refinancing I was not told until about a week before that closing that I couldn't ref Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Does anyone have any recommendations for local investor friendly title companies in Riverside, CA that do both assignment of contract and double closing?

of them had some kind of issue (some completely minor where they almost didn't want to mention it to what I would consider catastrophic) yet 100% of them would recommend us to friends and family just based on our communication and customer service.  

Started work with a family member who did not complete itHired new contractor (Norman Downer) Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Unfortunately, that is too granular for OOS investors.So, we recommend investing via City of Detroit Neighborhoods.

You could find an attorney or agent - recommend negotiating a flat fee with either of them as pretty standard docs.

Then the contractor who did the install will say 'That's not my fault, they broke one of the lines' or 'it's a POS system from Amazon what did you expect, call the manufacturer', or 'I just installed it, I didn't warranty it', etc (especially if the tenant bought it and the contractor is just installing it)My thinking is if the owner approves/recommends the contractor to do the work, it's then their responsibility to make sure it's done right, and their liability thereafter because it's their property after all.

Is there a particular one you recommend?
