I suggest working with a Direct Lender that covers multiple states and offers the following support: DSCR Programs | PreApproval Certificate Letter to let you shop with an approval letter in hand and Prequalification support for Properties in advance. 

And if you want to save even more you can search for used online (ebay, craigslist etc) I use Alert One (you can google them, they are on Rising Sun ave.) for annual certification in my buildings but use my electrician to update, install or replace the alarms.

You should also be collecting GL insurance certificates from those vendors and their insurance certificate should list both your PM company as well as the property owner as additional insured.

Do note that when the corporation one day decides to return money to the foreign person it will be required to make the FIRPTA withholding and pay its own taxes on any income the property generates.Individuals can also complete Form 8828-B for a withholding certificate relieving the seller of the duty to withhold FIRPTA.

Yes, I'm giving myself 1 to 2 years of "incomeless" learning and setup of all tools, certifications, designations and processes.
