I have learned a lot over the last ~6 months about furnishing a property, managing/pricing a rental, understanding the ins and outs of Airbnb/Furnished Finder, and analyzing real estate investments generally.My business idea is to use that knowledge and start a company that does the following:-Furnishes properties for investors who want to turn their LTR into a MTR/STR, new homebuyers who want to house hack, or just any investor needing a rental furnished.

Most cost segregation study companies provide the quote for free.

In order to have checkbook control, the IRA account will need to be at a trust company that will allow the IRA to invest in an LLC (where you will be the manager and your IRA will be member - an as manager you will have checkbook access to the LLC bank account).

Currently I own a large real estate company and still get some great value out being in his inner circle of real estate operators. 

How do I research the company?  

However, they are merging with another company next month which does NOT have MLS-only memberships.

Now, I run a PM company.

Thus, the preREO strategy is to have a court appoint a receiver, which could be a real estate agent or property management company, to repair and rent the property during the foreclosure.

@Greg O'Brien - Do you mind sharing your company details? 

Just outline expectations and roles, and what each of you guys are going to do, and how properties will be acquired and how they will be disposed of, and how and when money will be taken out of the company and you should be good.
