One thing I want to do is make up a "packet" with pictures of the property and the vital numbers.

You need to make this the most vital stage of your process because having good/bad tenants makes all the difference.Additionally, if a tenant damages your unit you should not make them pay (because they won't).

Between them we have house painters, an electrician, a floor layer, and connections to get some of the supplies at cost.

Each layer of protection costs less per dollar of coverage than the one beneath it, precisely because the risk pool will produce more small claims than large ones.

That piece of information is so vital in helping me make the decision about selling vs exchanging.

i'm sure he could give you guidance on how to best solve the problem you're going after with the multi-layered trust/llc/etc.

I hear you @Kristen SnyderSetting goals is absolutely vital to achieving anything.

Multiple layers of LLC do nothing but keep attorney's and accountants in business.

Having lived in Cheyenne for 14 years now and traveling to northern CO regularly, I see a huge difference in the vitality of both economies.

Since this process removes a lot of the top layers, the color is unpredictable.
