If not, I don't think the cost of having a lawyer draft/review these documents are worth the benefits of locking up this one tenant (unless he or she is willing to pay a lot more). 

Looking for an experienced commercial real estate agent to help me out. 

Aaron welcome, there is an army of experienced folks here at the ready; but we know nothing about you, or the deal.

The total was $1785 (I believe this may have included registered agent fees and address forwarding, and I need to review my invoice for if this covered state filing fees, but I think not).

Most of the syndications I have reviewed recently involve upgrading C class buildings so they can raise rents and therefore values to generate good returns.

Post any question you may have and there are many experienced investors who offer great insight here.  

I know it's unusual to try such a large rehab as my 1st flip, but if I get to the point that I don't feel I can handle it, I have more experienced flippers I can bring in to take over.

I am looking to network with developers, contractors with commercial experience, and experienced land acquisition professionals in the Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside County areas.

Then if your lease is worded properly you can apply the next rental payment to that amount and charge them a late fee on the rent.Get a lawyer to review all contracts before signing one or offering a lease to someone else.

@Jestin Sorenson Make sure to review all the rents and deferred maintenance costs, all the utilities, insurance...everything-if you plan to take a portion of equity-all the numbers need to be evaluated.
