I have the flexibility with my schedule working 10 shifts a month to go back and forth out of state to stay involved.

We've already scheduled 5 contractors to walk through the property next week.  

clarification: when the property was purchased, tenant had preexisting lease which is scheduled to expire in a year to pay rent to the previous owner.

Mostly lenders will give you exception for property which is under 1 year rental history with 75%  rental income or from your schedule E. 

If you are the sole owner of the LLC, then the IRS will consider it to be a disregarded entity and it will go on schedule E of your personal tax return. 

There are a couple of properties I'm interested in that are priced above my pre-approval amount and I'm not afraid to submit an offer based on what I can and am willing to spend, but the agent I'm working with feels it's a waste of her time to schedule a showing for a place outside my approval limit because "there's no way a seller would accept that offer."

With an increase of about 7% over last year in Denver (https://www.cpr.org/news/newsbeat/colorado-springs...) and no contraction in sight, scheduled rent increases should continue to multiply that $2,600 of mailbox money forever more, or at least until your portfolio review. 

Then we scheduled a time to do a walk though I figured it would be a good time to address something in the bid that did not jive with the scope of work.

I'm literally sitting in from my computer now scheduling my third.

Due to my family having stressed packed schedules, the process of finding these properties has fallen on my shoulders.
