Make sure that keeping utilities on is in their lease as their responsibility.Pull the band aid off quickly before they know you and begin to get comfortable enough to push back.They know there will be changes when the building is sold so make the changes when they are expecting them.

I am currently in the process purchasing my first SFH investment property in North Little Rock, AR and it has resulted in me trying to learn even more because now it is actually happening.

On this boat, there is a German music band, kegs of beer, and people hanging out.

I wish I had better news for you but wanted to share and make sure you did your due diligence before pulling the trigger and make sure you had a plan B and plan C if your cleaning people don't show or you've got an issue with the "hot water not working"...

I am about to close on my first rental property which is turnkey in Little Rock.

Cap rate, the measure of financial performance in most cities is at most 10% and drops like a rock as purchase price runs above 200k. 

Similar situation with the primary residence and last year I knew I wanted to grow a rental portfolio so I started to research like crazy, audiobooks, podcasts, talking to 20+ turnkey providers in memphis, little rock, kc, indy, idaho, texas, etc, REI meetups, multifamily bootcamps, you name it!

I have a property in Round Rock, Texas, just outside of Austin.

I don't deal with the air b and b things much but I believe that status has tax implications too. 

If you go to every home simply saying you want to buy their house 9/10 people will likely tell you to kick rocks.
