I will suggest that a seminar that sells training materials only would not have helped me. 

Any suggestions would help pleaseIt may be more $$$ but that isn't the only metric you should look at. 

Sounds like it makes sense for you to partner, I would suggest: spell out responsibilities very clearly, how you make decisions and most importantly: have a very clearly spelled out exit. 

I would definitely suggest looking up the new ordinances that have been put in place here.

I have put the rental price below the market (as suggested by local real estate agents).

Like your post title suggests, you die to avoid the taxes.

@Jesse Strengunfortunately I’m not familiar with property managers in that location what I would suggest is I would look up NARPM and start with them..Below are some questions I would think would be a good starting point for you to see who really treats their company like a business or a hobby.My business partner is a regional VP for NARPM and I am happy to help if you need anything please reach outQuestions to Ask prospective management companies* What are your average days on market for vacant homes?

Denver and its surrounds have particularly active markets and a lot of active individuals offering ancillary services so I'd suggest you research those available services you're looking at offering to help you get an idea for what is well covered, what is lacking and what your competitor's pricing looks like.
