It boils down to communicating with the custodian so they understand what you're doing.I also really like IRAFinancial because, like My Solo 401k Financial, they give lots of great information on youtube. 

They do some communication, but most is up to you as it is about maintenance etc.

Since then it has been a long process of renovations, dealing with lack of communication from contractors and repairs in the unit that is currently rented.  

Owners who are making the switch always have the same complaints and the same reasons to cancel with their current PMC and hire RES:1) Poor communication. 

I think books and and podcasts undermine the ability to communicate respectfully and to bring something to the table, or at least a good attitude and consideration.

The inspection hasn't happened yet, and we haven't had a contractor walk through, but I'm thinking ahead to next steps.Do you folks have guidance on what exactly you communicate to your general contractor for what you need in a rental when you're looking to redo a a decent amount without any demo or major overhauls?
