Maybe setting up spreadsheets for Agents, Lenders, Wholesalers, etc. and logging who you have been communicating with, about what you were communicating, when you were communicating, and any planned or expected follow ups from either side.Mostly, I just am having a hard time figuring out the best way to keep track of all this information without it becoming ridiculously jumbled.

On the tenants part it's ridiculous to mail a check to the same address you live at.

Some of them have become SO immune to criticism they feel justified in sending out some ridiculous email like the one you received. 

It was the top floor (which happened to be the 3rd floor) and I had ridiculously high electrical bills compared to other places I lived. 

As someone who spent 5 days without a/c...in New Orleans, in August, with 95 degrees...when a tropical storm knocked out the power in most areas, your tenants sound ridiculous. 

@Amber Gonion yeah the prices are absolutely ridiculous. 

I think some of the challenges you're going to have speculating appreciation with a new build in UT county are (and this is my skeptic side, so take this with a bit of a sarcastic tone - and sorry, I just re-read this and it's long... ):Lot sizes are ridiculously tiny - you're not going to find a lot of availability of a spacious lots (or any size lot) for a reasonable price.  

It's ridiculous people get away with this stuff but what goes around comes around.

If they have a house meter, it's almost a deal killer  for me unless the the price is ridiculous. 

Put it on the market or sale at a ridiculously high price and then put in a house sitter (the tenant) while I wait for an offer.
