What area would you suggest for single family homes. 

Unless you have a very high income it is pretty risky to invest in additional properties when your portfolio currently takes money out of your pocket.

Need to take them to court to gain possession and recuperate funds invested into the transaction thus far.Please let me know who you suggest!

Did your agent suggest letting them out of the contract because the agent didn't want trouble?

One other suggestion would be to create an S-Corp as the holding entity for the LLCs.

Put 5% down, maxed out 3% credits, got an additional $3,000 out of inspection items, rolled commission into deal, after all of that and prorated rents we only came out of pocket $2,000 for the acquisition.

If you simply want to "get involved in it" I would suggest seeking out local, licensed property managers who are hiring.

One might start by contacting organisations such as the Colorado REIA (Real Estate Investors Association).Consider joining online platforms where local investors may congregate in addition to live events.

I’ve seen some stuff online that suggests I might assume the previous owners depreciation schedule (which would be bad because they’ve owned it a long time).
