Large and medium size banks often sell their loans to the secondary market (Fannie may, Freddie Mac Etc.)

Planning rules governing development in the downtown/midtown grid are becoming increasingly strict and those properties stand to appreciate over the medium term. 

It's medium to high risk.

After reviewing many medium-sized cities, mostly near my hometown in Southern Michigan, I discovered Fort Wayne.  

My long-term goal, besides building up a portfolio of rentals, is to establish a small to medium size property management company, where my wife and I can concentrate on giving exceptional service and individualized attention to our customers.

Your best bet is a broker or correspondent lender with a medium size officet that is approved with many lenders/investors.Just because you walk into a bank to get a mortgage doesn't mean they are actually the lender.

Having said that, they compiled a list of SD IRA custodians that breaks them down by large, medium, and small based on assets under custody, as well as notes which are custodians and which are TPA (third party administrators). http://selfdirectedira.nuwireinvestor.com/list-of-...Hope that helps!

I own a small to medium sized apartment complex there and wanted to see if you had any recommendations on good property managers?  

Good one's are busy and more expensive but stick to budget.In our area we do whats called a pre app conference.. you hire your engineer and they put a plan together  etc.. but for a simple lot split its pretty much over the counter.but yes this person can certainly go to the counter and get the basic's IE zoning minimum lot size minimum lot width and depth requirements etc.I guess I just default to straight to the engineer or surveyor since I I usually have a pretty good handle on whether its feasible before I start anyway.I see your in Browns Valley back in the day I was the lead on the project up on Hammaton Smartsville road... sat in many meetings there in Yuba county. 

So it is more about your medium-to-long term goalsCheers,Josh
