It’s hard for most people to admit, but you’ve got to honestly inventory your attributes, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, passions, persistence, personality, knowledge, intelligence etc. to decide if this is something you can be successful at.

It's just human nature - we tend to attribute characteristics we like to people we like.

Several you shouldpay attention to are:- Ordinance & Law: Provides additional building coverage to deal with rebuilding costIncreases due to changes in Zoning or Building laws- Personal Injury Liability: Libel, defimation of character, wrongful imprisionment, etc.

We would need to take a look at what you have signed to make sure its the standard agency disclosure form or something modified, or if you signed something completely different like an exclusive right to represent which will also mention agency disclosure within.At the end of the day, You should have an agent whom you trust, in personal character and knowledge of your particular asset type and preferably location.

Additionally, depending on how many rental and personal days you had, you may be able to deduct some of the expenses attributed to the personal days as itemized deductions.

Having said that, what do you think is the most important attribute an agent can have to help me find the best deal?

Applicant’s character.

Applicant’s character.

I also buy vintage glass light covers/fixtures at Construction Junction or Habitat for Humanity Restore to put in my rentals as they add a lot of character and look much better than most of the modern ones sold at Lowe's/Home Depot.I would ask a selling agent about the cabinets to see what he/she thinks about staining them VS painting them.

The general character, look and feel, etc. will most likely remain low-income for the immediate future just due to the architecture, layout and demographics. $350k is a decent price for a duplex anywhere in Boulder County, it’s a very entry-level price point.
