That type of suit is not common but CA has a reputation of being a state where folks sue over everything. 

Anyone have any recommendations on finding a reputable, trustworthy, reliable, and fair contractor?  

I am meeting with a reputable PM in my city today.

We operate a Turnkey business in Cleveland, Ohio, however, the following theories I think hold true anywhere in the country, perhaps even the world.You want to connect yourself with experienced people that are familiar with the local market or the immediate market you are consideringCheap properties will inherently normally carry a little higher riskDo not cut corners on your renovations, you do not want to deal with chronic maintenanceBe patient when placing and screening tenants, the better quality tenant = longer stay/less turnover, timely payments, care for property betterYou want to find a reputable and sophisticated licensed property manager = huge weight on the success of your hold SFRHopefully this helps you get moving in the right direction, if you want to chat or have any other questions feel free to inbox me or call me.Good Luck!

I would eat the extra expense and enjoy knowing that my reputation will be enhanced rather than denigrated because I didn't honor my quote.It's tough, but sometimes lessons are expensive.Best wishes,Matt

Our reputation is important to us, so I'm curious if you've heard positive or negative things about our company or us individually.

I am looking for a reputable and reasonable attorney in the Atlanta, GA area to review the document, since that is the location of the property. 

I am new to real estate investing.Over the past year I have made loaned money on 6 different hard money loans ( along with a few other people)I am trying to find more deals such as these but I am not sure how to go about finding reputable companies to invest with

You'll essentially get paid to learn the market while building a reputation with cash buyers. 

Better that than simply labeling all of them as being social leaches or lazy bums.The reason why section 8 tenants have trouble finding housing is because landlords know from first hand experience the tenant class has a legitimate bad reputation.
