@Don Konipol If the lien expires and then the subject property is transferred to a new owner, and after that occurs the IRS re-files the lien, it doesn't attach to the subject property.

Has anyone used Western Union for a wire transfer for a closing? 

Oakland has quite a heft city transfer tax for example compared to other states in CA) you really just need to know how those changes may or may not influence your investment.

I feel like once they settle in, it would be better.Since u have a year worth of rent, I feel like u have the upper hand.

Some hands-on experience in the field you are wanting them to do your accounting always helps them understand your business model better than one who has not venture into the REI space. 

@Wayne Brooks Thanks for the input but the calculator only has 3 fill-ins, which I transferred straight from my loan.

If you hire the first PM to show up in a Google search or the one with the lowest management fee, you're getting exactly what you deserve.When searching for tenants, do you take the first person to show up with cash in hand or do you screen them and look for the best applicant for your rental?

I didn't get any information on it when I got it transferred under my management. 

I am extremely hands off, so I don't expect an issue with active involvement.Thanks again for your insight.

Of course, it's a bit risky, but if you analyze the numbers on the flip, you could have that loan paid off and a chunk of equity in your hands within 6 months or less (pending the resale of the flip).
