I specialize in creative rental investments such as STR & co-living. 

The avg equity position upon completion is about $150K with avg rent of $2,500 leasing in 3 weeks or less post CO. 

I also co-own a rental property in AR with my business partner.

From there, I would like to consider a 1031 exchange in the future to acquire more units.My current property management company suggested that they could handle a mid sized apartment building but I would absolutely not consider them for it as I believe they have overextended themselves and communication is lacking.

Quote from @Sameul Ahsan: Did you think of having someone co host your property?  

You can build your own team i.e. title co, insurance, pm, contractors, handyman,process server, lender etc.... or you can find an operator who can get you going in that market while simultaneously building out your team.Section 8 housing is a great way to ensure consistency with rent payments however not all tenant who have HCV pay 0%.

What types of IRS/CPA approved payments are working well for rents to LLC entities to keep personal and business funds from co-mingling? 

Every meeting there are giveaways like smoke detectors, CO detectors or gift cards for Home Depot. 

And the whole thing of CO's #'s.

Or any area in Colorado for that matter
