Some PM companies take on higher end stuff (think Cul-De-Sac neighborhoods) and some focus on the hood.

That could be your PM company if you plan to hire one. 

Quote from @Mel Rosario: HiDoes anyone know which companies that are willing to insure multiplexes in California, particularly coastal Oceanside, CA? 

(you need to differentiate when a Mark Spain type company is running radio ads to attract business for themselves from it actually helping you out)4) Our TEAM or BROKERAGE has sold "X" homes!

I work for a flooring company as a designer and meet contractors and people who flip homes regularly so it has me flirting with the idea of doing it myself.My question is, how did you get your spouse to be on board with real estate investing?

It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with so much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here (26B Intel headquarters being built here, 68K+ enrollment in Ohio State University, Amazon, FB, Google, Honda, Nationwide, Anduril, etc.).

Brett,I have never heard of that company but any reason why your not using an FDIC Bank or well known lender? 

While this is a great and highly motivating goal, most people are either clueless or incorrect in their belief as to what is required to obtain this “lifestyle”.Understanding of the “how to” get there is further obscured by the misleading, and often patently false “pathways” sold by real estate educational MARKETING companies as workshops, upsold to association memberships, upsold to mentorships.

The company is looking at charging %25 which seems like highway robbery.   

There's usually a good reason why a company is cheaper or more expensive.
