@Greg O'Brien - Do you mind sharing your company details? 

Do you recommend making relationship with property management companies?

I have been invited to be a trainer for a few different training companies.

@Denise CarringerMy preference is to go local - some community banks offer this type of service or local escrow companies, which is what I found, because they offer a higher level of service than most national.

In order to have checkbook control, the IRA account will need to be at a trust company that will allow the IRA to invest in an LLC (where you will be the manager and your IRA will be member - an as manager you will have checkbook access to the LLC bank account).

If your escrow company allowed that to happen, you should go after them.

People have been dropped by insurance companies in wildfire areas and had to scramble to try to find insurance - some using California Fair Plan. 

A solution company that intrigues me is Acoustimac.

Curious if they named that company as they were the servicing company - so they were the ones who would be handling payoffs.... 

Goodin Development has no filings with the SEC authorizing it to raise money, has not pulled any permits and is not mentioned in any of the numerous news articles discussing the development and the companies involved.If you are thinking of sending Justin Goodin or Goodin Development any money - THINK TWICE!!
