It only takes a few minutes to comply, and this way, you don’t have to worry about any decision they finalize on later.

The PM handles almost everything except the decision-making.Would it be rude or inappropriate if I communicated directly with the PM without involving my realtor?

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

What’s your take on how current market trends could impact your decision to hold versus sell?

It was the right decision for me at the time to have it be an LTR, but it's a PITA restoring it.

At the point I made that decision, I didn't even know about self-directed IRAs, I just knew in general IRAs had a bit more flexibility.  

That said, this might not work for everyone, so a fix-and-flip loan can be a great alternative.My team and I work with investors nationwide who face these same decisions.

Then feel free to make a more informed decision. 

To be honest, I’m too busy to be making this decision right now.

I see it that your first decision is; to scale (grow), to coast (doesn't sound of interest or else you wouldn't be asking these questions, right), to exit (cash-out) or to transfer.
