I only have one investment property in CA and that's been the most stable and best performing asset out of all of them@Wale Lawal Once this flip gone wrong is taken care of my portfolio will actually be pretty stable.

In return for excellent service I'll be offering repeat business and I'll happily provide referrals to my existing investor network for those top performers. 

Hello @Ryan Johnston,The decision to keep or sell a property isn't just about its current performance.

I think what you’re referring to is a checkbook IRA so you can bypass the custodian when performing transactions/investing and all assets/accounts will be held in the name of a special purpose LLC or Trust which is the instrument that gives you checkbook control.  

Some of the best performing properties can have an occupancy around 60% for the year and sometimes lower.

High performers everywhere swear by it.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – and they often select the first PMC they call!

Perform due diligence by reviewing the financials, market trends, and property condition.

They have a system that tracks this exact thing, so an investor can see exactly how the investment is performing.  

How do I know which questions to ask to ensure the property manager is performing at its best?
