@Greg O'Brien - Do you mind sharing your company details? 

Would you like to manage the property yourself, have an assistant do it for you, or have a management company do it for you?

You may run a company but you are not investing in real estate as you don’t own anything.

Do you recommend making relationship with property management companies?

If your comps were sold by a real estate agent and you are using them to justify your price, that is like trying to sell your car at a car salesman's price instead of an owner's price.In any case, if you need to lower the price, make sure that the price drop is a decent amount versus a "drop in the bucket."

Currently just missing decent PMs to work with and looking for more recommendations.

@Denise CarringerMy preference is to go local - some community banks offer this type of service or local escrow companies, which is what I found, because they offer a higher level of service than most national.

In order to have checkbook control, the IRA account will need to be at a trust company that will allow the IRA to invest in an LLC (where you will be the manager and your IRA will be member - an as manager you will have checkbook access to the LLC bank account).

If your escrow company allowed that to happen, you should go after them.

People have been dropped by insurance companies in wildfire areas and had to scramble to try to find insurance - some using California Fair Plan.
