I have a decent amount of property managers that I really trust and can refer you to them! 

So I'd be doing my best to get the highest possible rent/revenue but without needing or counting on that.What you refer as cut-throat competition exists in every market where you have demand.

@Jason Mayer no, but I have an agent that has a few Section 8s himself who I refer my clients to for Denver/Colorado Springs.

And what kind of protection are you referring to?

Bonus points if they can refer you to reputable contractors in the area. 

If you are out of state, who connected you to the contractor and what references did they have?

I want to be sure I’m understand what your point of reference is.

If needed for reference, the questions I have for the CPA are posted at:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1221080-1031-...

I am definatley going to keep these posts for future reference.

By "business account," I’m referring to setting up an LLC as well as a business bank account.My goal is to expand my real estate portfolio by acquiring approximately two properties per year.
