I appreciate the advice and the warm welcome!

They may not trust you at first, but if you call them consistently, and give them feedback on any deal they send you, they'll warm up to you overtime.

Bring in natural wood tones some how to give the space a warm element. 

The WI leases I'm familiar with do call for minimum heating in the boilerplate section that whoever provides heat will make sure it's at a reasonable level for habitability and prevent damage (not turning heat off when you go on vacation and having pipes freeze).I agree as well with adding some electric baseboards in rooms as needed as an easy way for tenants to warm up a space (typically more costly way to heat, so hopefully electric for their units are separately metered).Hope that helps with some of the questions.

There aren't warm/fuzzies in rentals.  

The other would send me warm leads from a campaign, to then reach out to.

After your second full time paycheck you'll have two pay stubs to establish an income level, and the longevity at the same employer will give the bank a warm fuzzy you're a good candidate for a mortgage.Then use a first time home buyer loan to get into a house with 97% of LTV (3% cash down if the house appraises at the sale price, or if it sells higher than the appraisal you'll need more cash). 

@Cody Lewis the water is warm!
