They're often caught in trash bags that are then thrown away.

Seemed to be more of a NE USA thing, but at least one of his shops is still in business...4-5 years later.I would want personal guarantee if you can get it. 

Fast forward to today, we are shopping around for a larger home but wish to keep the above condo for ~25+ years as (i) I'm bullish on the neighborhood (as well as location within the neighborhood), (ii) the unit has a couple very unique characteristics which cannot be replicated, and (iii) I want to generally dip my toes into the investment property game and feel this is best opportunity to do so.

At least split utilities.I mean it dependsI got a girl who hates when I try to pay for her shopping bills(3/4ths of the time hehe)It gives her pride to pay her own bills and makes her feel good.

Shop around for bookkeepers.

When there are no comps I try to get for cheaper than the tax value, put it under contract and shop it from there. 

I spent $23 to repair an ill-functioning downspout and maybe $6 for three 10-lb. bags of mortar - I did the mortar work myself.

Lastly, is there a one stop shop for someone like me that any of you would recommend?

I am in the beginning stages of "shopping" for a lender to purchase my first owner-occupied investment property.
