(been working and succeeding since 2008 or before, someone you have experience with, good returns, close to 5yr investment?)

You can also search Google and read reviews.

Any other experiences?

In my experience, cost segregation studies are a lot less than $10-15k especially for smaller properties (6 units and below).

I just re-read and realized you're talking about getting loans for lien position 2, is that correct?

@Dwight HenningRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Search for Tacoma-based members on BiggerPockets and filter by those with wholesaling experience.

According to what I have read straight from the IRS website and other places, we need to either meet 500 hours, or at least 100 hours and also work more than anyone else on the property.

Would it be a good idea to get a real estate license and work in real estate or are there other options to get in Missouri to get real estate experience without a license? 

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.
