Hi guys, I'm a project manager/interior designer recently moved to Sacramento, CA looking for some motivated people to partner with and do some deals.

In our experience, the #1 mistake landlords make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.

Would appreciate any advice or tips or where to confirm this information.

You probably want to sync with an Ohio CPA as well to confirm tax treatment advantages.

Good to confirm the 1031 piece, as well. 

None of that is true, at all (I could go over why Realtors believe that, it involves both self-selection bias and confirmation bias acting together, but that's not strictly relevant to your question), but that listing agent believes it's true, and will advise their seller client to throw your FHA offer in the trash, if they have any other options at all in terms of which offer to accept, which is very probable in this market... because, guess what, all your competing buyers also have Realtors, and they too are advising their clients to use conventional rather than FHA.

Duct burst pressures are rated 3x high yet than design pressures, and closing a register or two will not increase the pressure to the point of failure. 

Is mezannine debt a common way of funding all of the development costs (Entitlement,Design, Permitting, etc.) before raising capital for the construction?

If you are using this property as a rental for tax purposes, you should ALWAYS claim depreciation, because whether or not you claim it on your taxes, it WILL be recaptured on the sale of the property.Hopefully a tax professional will confirm my understanding.
