Replacing side walks on a city property that is out side the city limits just added 2 weeks to the project. 

I wouldn't expect them to walk you through doing this transaction the right way, but they ought to be able to give you guidance on what things to avoid doing in order to keep yourself in good standing with CAR.

I walk around and I work on my properties.

That being said, I am looking for individual investors or small businesses that would be willing to introduce their business to me and perhaps let me "tag along" on some of their current projects, negotiations, walk-throughs, etc.

Am looking at these two properties in LA, one is a 4-unit 50 years old just East of Culver City, somewhere east of Hauser and just north of Jefferson Blvd. this one is a bread and butter property which almost covers its own expenses and will be completely carrying itself in 5 years, second one is a 3-units 95 years old on Eagle Rock in walking distance to Colorado Blvd with one unit vacant (needs 30K to rehab).

If that's the route that fits for you, I would check with @Todd Burton or @Mike D'Arrigo.

They either comply with the inspection or you walk. 

I can practically walk into a situation I’m sure a lot of people work hard for.

And you also need to walk the property.

You should never let your tenant walk all over you, but at the same time, you should not walk all over your tenant.
