My question is, What is the best way to apply it?

I submitted a help question on Friday, today is now Tuesday and still no response.  

Great question and always worth getting a second opinion.. especially when it comes to inherited IRAs.

My question to you is why would you go under contract at market price when the house was on market for 100 days , in worse condition than comps , and aware it needed upgrades ? 

If house-hacking is out of the question/you already own a primary at the very least, then that sounds like a pretty solid option/interest rate (although I might be able to beat that...).

These are great questions and a great idea to do some due diligence before the purchase.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

They don't rely on the meager information obtained from continuing education classes, but instead they research more on their own.The CPA exam is a start, but the education obtained from experience, asking questions, digger deeper, consulting with other professionals, as well as other sources is valuable. 

I know I didn't give you a direct answer to your question but the reality is that we're just at the tip of the iceberg.
