@Josh Tonnesen, I'd endorse at least doing the minimum to get the full match available, as this is easily one of the best investments ever, plus what I'd suggest is that every time you get a raise, have 100% of the raise go towards your IRA contribution, until you reach the max.

Usually it involves an emergency repair endorsed by both tenants and landlord.

My lender is a small regional bank (Spirit of Texas Bank) and instead of endorsing the check and allowing me to deposit into my own account, has set up a reserve account for the funds. 

You would have had to get the lenders to endorse any checks.  

They are usually not filed at the right time nullifying the Lien.Laws on this vary by state but- adding a Release of Lien Rights to the endorsement part of your business checks ensures that by endorsing the check you have a signed release.

BP Nation, do you know qualified professionals in Greater Phoenix, Arizona, who you would endorse to handle my first deals?

If you want to make sure that your tenants keep the policy in force you could ask them to have their agent/broker include an endorsement to their renters policy that is called the “ADDITIONAL INSURED” endorsement and the additional insured would be your LLC if it owns the property or yourself if you own the property, this endorsement will require the insurer to send the LLC or you copies of any cancellations or changes to the policy, you should know though that this endorsement cost’s additional premium that the renter would pay.

With a $250k servicing endorsement you can make loans as long as you want to for as long as you want.

I obviously don't endorse the tenant's conduct, but your notion of professional responsibility to landlords everywhere is a bit of an oversell for me.  

I had an LLC, my broker got me insurance for the LLC, but an endorsement also covered me personally.Remember, for small one person businesses, they always sue you personally.
