I would ultimately want to refinance the property after rehabbing it and streamlining operations in order to buy out the investors.

$35k is the limit for a “streamline” 203k....no consultant needed, less paper work inspections.

I had a 203k stream line in 2013  ( under $35,000) in repair cost and that only required the normal permit process and I served as my own PM.

Everything you said makes sense, I'm just trying to figure out what the best method for me would be to streamline the whole process.

This system provides the maximum for anonymity and protection while streamlining your taxes.

We used an independent broker named Bobby Allison in Chattanooga, TN from American Home Mortgage:  http://americanhomemtg.com/There are 2 types of 203k's: the streamlined and full version.  

I was just wondering if anyone had experience with it and if it would help stream line some things for me as a new investor.

The best course of action is to have a good support system in place that can help you streamline your operation.  

What do you want to streamline about the property management process?

Because of my frustrations that were similar to yours I created a streamlined solution for my friends and family where they are not signed for anything other than the specific property they are offering on and it's at a discounted rate.
