From what I understand, the process appears to be relatively synonymous, but dealing with foreign payments and foreign entities is unchartered territory for me, and I want to make sure I deal with closing and managing this property in the right way.

Hello, I currently live in California and have been successfully managing my multiple properties in the Frisco (Texas) area for the last 3 years.

There was no hesitation on our part... we own 37 doors (bought between 2018-2021) and managing our real estate is our full time job; but I want to offer you a corollary as to your "why does everyone wait" question... which is to say, "Maybe SOMETIMES they should be waiting..."

Have you thought about getting into co-hosting or management?

I do understand there is risk with finding a good network out of state of contractors and property managers. 

And for over 10 years, I have been in multifamily affordable housing development, and I am very familiar with asset management, property management, construction, and tax credit financing.

Hello,My property manager is asking us fill out a W-9. 

It's more efficient for managing the properties.

However, I have also been getting conflicting information about a commercial loan servicer not being the best route, and would prefer not to have to stay in the multi-unit for multiple years via programs like NACA if possible.
