California tends to have more laws on the books and requirements and restrictions that it can be a good idea to form a CA LLC for out of state property so that you as a CA resident are covered, and to try to have your contracts fall under the purview of CA courts.

Do you think it's better to form a relationship with a small bank vs a nationally known bank?

It's a cost basis appraisal and valuation with pro-forma income and expenses based on current market rates etc. 

You can form a LLC in any state and use it like the business it is in any state.

Perhaps form a separate LLC for the property.

On our pro formas we use 9.4% as the PM fee to account for this little extra leasing cost and to be conservative.

But your QI for the 1031 can form a holding entity called the Exchange Accommodating Title Holder and actually take title to the new property to hold it for you.
