Others will know better than I but I'd consider avoiding the property manager at first - They are expensive and rarely do a better job that a caring/motivated owner.  

I've got 2 rentals which are going nicely, and am working toward my 2nd flip.  

They offer a nice discount off the settlement fee.

The property looks nice outside of the kitchen and bathroom.

Nice to meet you both. 

Westside of Lakewood you can get those rents if your place is enormous and super nice, which I'm doubting a bit at a 150k purchase price. 

But there is a nice large community kitchen in the hallway with a 70" TV and couches set up for entertaining guests.  

I will not have any issue getting a job upon coming back to the states. 

the biggest issues are that the available tenant base drops dramatically around October and doesn't pick up again till the end of the school year.People are no different than animals in that regard.They want to be settled and hunkered down in a property before the school year and/or bad weather starts.Quality tenants with good financial backgrounds don't want to move their families in the middle of an icy,snowy winter for obvious reasons,and good college students have already started school in August.Many of the few available tenants will have questionable backgrounds like recent job loss,previous eviction,bad credit,difficult income verification and don't make 3 times the rent,criminal records,etc.   

How nice of them...
