This is my first property EVER, I have been a landlord for a month.

In regard to the second one, some sellers want to be there, some sellers want to field the calls for showings, some sellers can't stay out of the business and don't think their agent is ever doing enough.If you got your license to invest and you have two sets of owners desperate to sell, the question is: did you acquire both of these properties at a price that works for you and solves the owner's problems?

Do not for any reason ever offer any tenant any money as compensation.

An example I see is with the kitchen faucet - seems to make sense to spend an extra $50 to get a larger high end faucet?

For larger jobs we generally send out a As-Built company to take the measurements and produce the drawings.

@Arissa Dahl I can tell you that, at least in the Chicago area where I work, most larger complexes do not go through the MLS.

Larger government laws overrule smaller ones.Anyway, this page from the Ohio bar says you can put it in the tenant's name: https://www.ohiobar.org/forpublic/resources/lawfac...It's sounding like "keep the water in the owner's name" is common practice people think is actually required.Edit: I'm obviously not giving anyone legal advice, I'm just an accountant raised by lawyers, so I'm persnickety about this stuff.

We are looking to start in the Greeley \ Evans focusing on University of Northern Colorado and ideally growing to afford the larger markets Colorado State University or University of Colorado.

It's not the best deal ever, but I had to start somewhere after 6 months learning the theory (a lot thanks to BiggerPockets's mantra of taking action and learning by doing).As a background, I'm Portuguese and am living and working in Ireland for the past 6 years.

There are some other ways to purchase larger, such as buying a 2-4 unit and living in 1.
