So  you would have to interview your banks first to see if they don't source deposits into a business account.Since you are using this for business purposes ask the bank if you can place this in your business name. 

Here's some questions I would recommend asking when interviewing a lender:What is the difference between the "Full" and the "Streamline" 203K product?

When you are calling for a property manager be sure you are interviewing them!

If I decide to do this, I'll interview several brokerages to find the best fit. 

Read about both professions, interview people in such professions already about their daily lives and then decide for yourself which one is more suitable for your personality.

I think I was just recently inspired by the interview with @Charles Roberts to not be so frantic about making a deal work and being able to sleep well at night!

I use a database now and can routinely get to within 5% of actual costs on about any reno project...but again, it takes time.One thought is to interview multiple contractors and get bids. 3-5 bids should show you an appropriate range for the work.

I recommend all 3 for excellent interview-style real estate info specific for CDNs.

If you're on a budget I'd consider the old part of Elk Grove or Oak park (for our purposes Oak Park = Oakland...nice downtown, near the grid, but still a long way to go).Not familiar with Costa Hawkins, but Sac Business Journal and other local publications interview county decision makers who, at least publicly, say rent control is not a likely option. 

I would /have interviewed 2/3 lenders ( community banks not the national lenders as they have much more flexibility / also credit unions  are a great source ) and shop just like anything else.
