So, owners mistakenly think price is the only differentiator – and look for a PMC like they’d shop for groceries☹We encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others by reading posts here on BiggerPockets from owners that picked a PMC solely by price and regretted it.We recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Even if someone gives you a referral, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that just because a PMC met their expectations, they’ll meet your expectations.

With any comps you should be able to cross check their calendars and see if the math makes sense.

We did all of our due diligence on the property, crossed our T's and dotted our I's. 

For rents, use the income approach: verify with two PMs, cross‑check Rentometer/Zillow but discount for aspirational pricing, and weight unit layout and parking over raw sqft when comps are sparse .

Comfort with creative/complex deals.Subject-to, novations, LLC-to-LLC transfers, cross-collateralization, even if you’re not doing these yet, you want a title company that can.

No don't do that if you cross streams of rental income (all income goes into one LLC) then all your future income is at risk of loss.  

We feel as though we should be able to defer quite a bit on our taxes this year but just want to make sure we dot our i's and cross our t's.

From there you can cross check their identity on services like Spokeo.

You can realistically expect 90% LTV/100% Rehab for an experienced flipper from a reputable source. 100% LTV exists if there is a cross collateral scenario. 65% CLTV max.

That can easily cross into liability territory — if they later claim they felt pressured or harassed, it becomes your problem, not theirs.
