HI all. Thanks for having a great forum to exchange ideas. I am from Denver ( just south actually in Littleton ), I have this month purchased my first two rental SFH's. The first one I found a T/B for and got $2,00...

Kicked problem tenants out started fresh and sold my problems away.

(fridge, range, dishwasher and usually an over-the-range microwave, at least on the more expensive ones) I do this for a few reasons, mainly because I think that usually when people move to a new house, they want to leave their old appliances behind and moving into a freshly rehabbed house with brand new appliances is a real turn on for a lot of buyers.

With some owners having past negative experiences with other management companies, I pride myself in being prompt, professional, and always enthusiastic in a business that needs a breath of fresh air!

I'm sure they know there is no lie that wouldn't be uncovered, that has not been an issue.

I have looked at MLS listed houses that no one else had looked at, because it still had fresh snow in front of the house, sometimes 2-3 ft, but that gave me an opportunity to pick up some really great houses.

It is our job to catch those folks when screening to ensure they never move-in in the first place {BTW: It's not just working class tenants, or those on assistance, who are hard on properties, we had a young, hot-shot, lawyer cause unbelievable damage to a freshly renovated flat in just six months}.

I don't own a home yet so I am thinking of moving whenever I return and make a fresh start on life.

I intend to buy between one and four properties that may or may not be in the current state I reside in; this is all contingent on the opportunities that present themselves or as I uncover them myself.

I can't imagine going somewhere completely fresh and new.
