You need to develop a filter to isolate the deals that are profitable. 

I only know 3 people associated locally with Renatus, so it's a small sample size in an isolated market.

We have had multiple contractors and others suggest maybe not getting permits due to the fact that the house is in an area that is somewhat isolated and often overlooked when it comes to building permit regulation.

There is a lot of corporate maintenance, accounting, etc. and rules that must be observed to maintain the integrity of an LLC, but they are simple once you've learned them.As in Texas, Utah also benefits from Series, LLCs which allowed risk stemming from properties to be isolated to each respective property, so that a tenant in one property may not sue for the assets of the entire portfolio, but only for that single property in which they were injured. 

I like the idea of properties that are probably in B or B+ areas - maybe something in the $80k to $100k purcahse price range.Don't have any specific cities isolated yet.

I like how @Marcia Maynard handles the issue with a potential tenant - basing her decision to rent to them on the tenant's decision as to whether they have, or will, make good with their former landlord and that it was an isolated incident.

Today's frustration isn't isolated to the cubicle environment but to the corporate environment in general.Starts off with one moron mistakenly including a large distribution list on an e-mail late last night.

Do you offset an insulated chase way on the interior of the walls (as is practiced in a nordic wall construction) to isolate the inside face of your structural members?  

This can be used as strategy to reduce your taxable amounts if done correctly.None of these steps should be carried out in isolation, but knowing them will enable you to have a discussion with a knowledgeable professional as to how it can impact you particular case, and as you have identified, it is a numbers game.
