@Kim LeduffIn our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Include the finish selections as well so they understand what is being installed (Carpet is cheaper than hardwood and if you install hardwood herringbone thats even more expensive).Then you have the general terms as part of the contract which are insurance requiremens, licensing, schedule, indemnifications, lien waivers, case of default. 

Not having a payment gives you patience to select good tenants and opportunity during the tough times when others are freaking out from vacancy and racing to offer better incentives to put a body in their place.

The good news is that there are plenty of great CPAs out there including on these forums.We did have a conversation with him, which is why we selected him in the first place.

Ideally, you know every cabinet placement, tile selection, etc when you meet the contractor for bids.  

They can take time with their search and be more selective about a property’s location and condition.

Just find the tenant before you select the site/build the building because these companies have very specific requirements and they are not all the same. 

What is the selection criteria for investors to which you will pitch these investments?

These are the posts and discussions that I love and select "follow."

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.
