Sounds like you have a lot of experience to offer as well.

Ok sounds good!

They weren't the fully gutted/rehabbed properties Clayton so often talks about (and has a video of on his Facebook page of) on his podcast with his incredibly reasonable sounding and soothing voice.  

It sounds like the vetting process was not very in-depth concerning the general partner. 

so I am working on a replacement.

Your rehab is 14k for all of that stuff - sounds a bit low.  

Sounds like you have a pretty interesting day job.  

Hi everyone - I have a property in Orange County where the current wooden fence needs to be replaced (approximately 150 linear feet and two gates).  

It sounds like you need to talk to an attorney...

Good contractors can be hard to find.Here is my advice.I have had great luck finding them at our local real estate investor meet up group.I agree building supply centres can also be a good source.In my experience it is easier to find people to do a big job, rather than small ones.What I have done is formed relationships, where I give them a good big contract and in return they do the small stuff for me.I also have a couple of handyman type people on my team.They are usually doing repairs on the side, often for cash under the table.I only trust the small guys with minor stuff, maybe laying a floor, or replacing a toilet.The key is to build a solid team, do not nickel and dime them, pay them as soon as the work is done.Build a win win situation.
