Also looking at Viator (parent co. of Trip Advisor).

It is clear from the interview that their main skill set is raising money and they partner with other "Co-GPs" who focus on the operations. 

We own and operate a mid size REI and property management company in Marquette Co. (~300 units or so). 

Here is one I found in about 30 secondshttps://www.metalroofingscrews.com/products/hvac-line-set-co...

A good friend of mine, managed a similar transaction last year: he merged several single-family homes around Florida and exchanged them for a mid-size apartment complex in Chicago.

The end goal for us is to be in TX (in 8-11 years) and would prefer to have investments there as I don't want to be returning to Colorado all of the time once we move.

Require co-signers (like their parents), check references from previous landlords or college housing, verify enrollment status, and personal interviews to gauge responsibility.6.

STAY AWAY from this co. 

I also know from experience that if you have damages from frozen pipes the insurance co. will try to 1) verify that the property was occupied and 2) verify that the heat was turned on ( for example they could request a copy of the heating bill).

@Reid Ervin Great questions—there’s a lot to unpack here, but I’ll share what I’ve learned from my own experience, especially from a flip turned BRRRR, that I partnered on last year in Longmont CO.
