Hello and Happy Holidays everyone, I am in search of a new real estate attorney and hoping that someone, or anyone might have some good recommendations of individuals I can sit down, have coffee with and chat about investing.Thanks so much for your help. 

From reading BP articles and listening to BP podcasts, I’ve learned that hard money costs will be dependent on the project, not the individual’s income or credit score.

It occurred to me that a couple of years ago I created a bathroom in a lake house we had and I had to put in a rear discharge toilet (sounds redundant) to avoid cutting into the slab by drilling a hole through a cinder block wall. 

A block south of my 2 flat are row homes/town homes which were sold out before construction completed, several new multi-family and SFH have also been built/being built now in the neighborhood. 

I have found http://zimas.lacity.org for GIS searching, But the Block out the owner info. 

I had a similar situation happen where we were high bidder on a property but the agent convinced the seller who was out of town to sell it to a local individual who is well connected in the communityDefinitely was very shady but nothing you can do except move on to the next one

There are also individual training sessions on a variety of topics.

They do not automatically and completely shield an individual from liability.

I'm doing something very similar to this now with a trusted individual who has the money.

Any business related expense that is allowed for a rental activity operating within an LLC is also allowed for the individual who owns and operates the rentals in his/her own name.
