For near term investors, be prepared for sizable down payments to reach a cash flow neutral stance no matter how far out you look in the suburbs.

There has been quite a bit of complaints in the past year of IHA mishandling payments or not paying at all and little to no communication.

This has to cover your debt payments also.3.  

They already have a track record (good or bad) with you, so you can decide based on payment history, inspections, etc.

We do a pretty good deal of site selection with data behind it and use experian as a data source. 

Unless you have a specific monthly target for your payment you can spread that out to make it a Win/Win.There has been a lot of growth in Denver over the last 2-3 years and new builds as well I just closed on a home for a customer in commerce city they also moved from CA and needed a fresh start. 

I recommend being anonymous.In some cases if you have a PM, let them advertise it as their own.If you have an llc then the lease and payments go to that.While I do introduce myself to tenants, I don't advertise I'm the owner publicly.

Maybe you can use your duplex as collateral seeing as you don’t have a big down payment?

Here are thoughts on building strong vendor relationships:1.Timely Payments: Pay vendors promptly upon completion of work to maintain goodwill and encourage continued collaboration.2.Fair Pricing: Negotiate competitive rates without undercutting the value of their services.

If you have a class C plus or maybe low B area, you can screen to select the best or top end of tenants in the program.
