Even the best property management companies (PMC) struggle with:- Finding reliable handyman and contractors (ServiceTechs)- Same with affordable ones- Tracking preventive maintenance- Tracking previous work for potential reoccurrence warranty coverage- Understanding tenant reported problems, so the correct ServiceTech can be dispatched- Determining if tenant is at fault for an issue & should be charged - and will proof stand up in court?

Key items to rehab on the second home to bring the property value up for the refi, determining which lenders/servicing companies will be favorable, Identifying good properties to invest in altogether.

Next to impossible without a property management company or a ton of experience in rehabs.

Quote from @Nick Am: @Brett SynickyAnswers and thoughts below in Bold--> I am trying to setup a management company (LLC-B) and charge LLC-A management fees.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

I follow Dodd Frank, I use an RMLO, I have a title company close the sale and offer title insurance.

Steadily has their own product (with multiple writing companies) and then they offer policies through other carriers just as an independent agency would. 

If you are able to actively use the funds I would say start a real estate marketing company with it. 

That said, here is how I would proceed...For some background, I used to run an STR management company in SATX and we peaked at about 35 properties under management. 

Instead of shelling out $60K for a $250K deal, maybe some of you can help me figure out (or give referrals) to title companies, etc, or give overall advice how to save me money from this enormous financial endeavor (closing the deal).Thanks!
