You want the area code to match the area code where you are marketing.

@Steve BabiakHad those landlords performed a credit check, the name would either show as an alias to her real name (if she had used it before), would not have any history, or would be the history of someone else (in which case the details are less likely to match).  

They all match, are built well and are in perfect landlord setup.

You can share your goals and if you find someone that matches your style and goals, you can hook up and shadow them or assist them.

I was "matched" through my lender with a RA but on our second conversation I was asked to sign an exclusive agreement.

I would recommend that you first run the numbers and if it matches your investing criteria then you should do the walk over with your agent.

You'll want to raise the rent annually to match current market rates.

Run the numbers and see if they match your criteria. 

What if I can't get my replacement cabinets to match the originals (3 years old) or my floors to match the original?

In order to match homes with renters, I often do quite a bit of cold calling to talk about executive leasing.
