Need to look into this more, just thought it was unique   

If you wouldn't mind sharing, what are the top 5 time consuming tasks you come across? 

You seem like a very intelligent and hardworking person; I'm sure you can come up with a value proposition that is unique to you. 

After market selection (1-3), my next task  is to segment those markets to avoid troubled areas.

I prefer to utilize a broker lender because they generally have access to more unique loans, however I do know some BANKS or credit unions have inhouse portfolio programs available that don't exactly follow fed guidelines, which may also be good options. 

You may ask for documentation of the health of the animal and you may ask what task she performs.

I have each unit in the building with a unique rent rate, so even if the tenant does not have the teller enter a note with the deposit (they often do), I still know who the rent payment is from based on the amount. 

We're looking to build something unique/contemporary with of course elements of the local area (mountain town).

Again, your situation is unique so understanding what lending is available to you once you reduce or elimnate your credit card debt would be a good step.The reality is you have the income and the ability to make this move and own multiple properties in 2 years...BUT...you need to make some sacrifices and hard choices for the next 2 years in order to get there.

But if the property is empty a protocol in that scenario would call for the removal of the affected area and a thorough cleaning and disinfecting of both rooms.So if you're someone who wants to get ahead of the curve make it a routine task to test for mold before and after a tenant moves.
