Some property managers have other units they need to fill first.  

I've also had really good luck with Nicole Murray in VSM, and she has helped me fill a few rental properties with tenants in Saint Paul.https://www.trulia.com/profile/nicole-murray-agent-saint-paul-mn-zgykc3fx/overviewGood luck on the sale!

She was able to issue me this letter once I filled out the form to request a demo permit from the Office of Buildings - I did not have to submit this permit nor did I need it approved to obtain the letter, only to fill it out and sign it to show my intent. 

can you afford to keep the lights on in all the units while you wait to fill them?

Note: I am aware of online applications like cozy that makes sure they fill out and pay their background/credit check but the applications for those types of software doesn't cover everything I want to ask and Brandon suggested paper applications is the way to go so it being my first rental I'll follow his advice on that but I just need a robust way of doing it.3.

How to manage dealsOnce you have a basic foundation of knowledge, then you can come to forums like this and start asking more specific questions or reading up on particular topics to fill in the gaps.

@Keith Lawlor Okay, assuming the date filled in A was your closing date, same advice....no need to wait and the sellers should appreciate the heads up.

Just make sure you are comfortable with the coverage amount.Or...Go to the MO website, fill out the appropriate forms to register your LLC, pick a local registered agent, and pay the fee. 

Where I'm going is, while this is not large apartment building investing, it is solid, money-making multifamily, and just 6 days after closing and 4 days after filling up that property, my wife and I have yet another duplex under contract that were closing on in 2 weeks (this one smells.... of opportunity!

Also look into filling any vacancies while you are in the final stages...There’s ways to do it so all the hard work is done and the tenant can move in right after closing.
