One of my favorite cities in the USA :) Congrats on keeping and renting out your SFR in Boulder with positive cash flow.

Everything is way too expensive here and it's not my favorite town, but I have to live (and rent) here for the next 8 years. 

Be friendly (kind-considerate-respectful), firm (be clear about your expectations and have the moxie to address issues as they arise), fair (comply with the law, no favoritism, appropriate response to the situation) , fast (quick to respond to maintenance requests and other tenant concerns), and flexible (when the situation warrants).

A few of may favorite books so far have been.- Set for life by @Scott Trench.

Save for 7-8 months and get my 20% down of 10k on it and go to a bank which isn't my favorite option or maybe since I was reading on here that life insurance company's have a very low interest rate and like to invest in multi family buildings that would be another good option.

I've been doing build to rent off and on (when I can find great deals on lots) since 2010 and it's my favorite strategy.

Can be a cashflow killer.Tired landlords that offer seller financing is another of my favorites.  

I'm Andrew Geib, currently I'm working as a lean six sigma engineer based in the Aurora/Naperville area. 1) Favorite real estate book: just picked up Rich Dad Poor Dad for the first time2) Favorite non-real estate book: Freakonomics3) Advice for new investors: seeing as I am a new to real estate, get started now rather than later. 4) Hobbies: cars, I autocross my daily driver whenever I can, I'm resorting a classic mustang, and I frequently go to car shows all across Chicagoland. 

Do any of you all have a favorite provider?

@Bruce MacSome of my favorite markets are those with job and population growth mixed with affordability and city revitalization.
