I don't expect to know everything by then, but I hope to develop a basic strategy that prevents me from making the most common and costly mistakes that a newbie can make.

The best thing you can do to prevent future foundation issues is installing gutters around the property to repel away from the foundation.

@Mark Ainley sent out an email in regards to these fraudulent tenant apps recently and they also have some great strategies they use to prevent it. 

This eliminates the need for a key and it prevents a tenant from ever locking themselves out.

The PMC I left to start my own PMC had at least 2 "preferred contractors" related to key players in the office so high rates and poor service fell on deaf ears. 

In 2021 there were two competing ballot measures that the citizens of Denver voted on - one measure from open-space advocates that would continue to prevent WIP from developing this parcel, the second measure sponsored by the WIP themselves that would exempt the property from the current zoning restrictions. 

Lenders desperately need/want business especially in this interest rate environment (right now, the main source of mortgage loan business in Florida is rehab financing as a result of the hurricane damages) and one way the big players differentiate themselves is by streamlining the process.

In neighborhood it is very important to present your self to the home owner next to you, this helps a lot to prevent misunderstandings. also this shows your professionalism.

This is to prevent actual spammers from blasting our PM system.I've lifted your ban.

You can prevent this by requiring them to add you as "additional interest" on their policy.
