Thanks for the encouragement @Micah Copeland@Dmitriy Fomichenko I just read the BP beginner's guide book last week, very good links and info.

You can interact via phone until you visit.Two Great reads, I bought both J.

In process of looking for first rental thus your article is very encouraging.

Your attorney may also be able to recommend some steps to take to encourage the tenants to stop their behavior.Good luck!

I don't know but I doubt that their broker encourages their dealing in low end stuff either.

Either way, I agree with Steven and would highly encourage you to wait for the best possible deal.

You want to encourage each household to conserve, and the only way to do that is to bill each tenant.

I'm fairly new to the business and so i do not have much information to offer, but wanted to encourage you to continue to build a team of with a competent and committed Realtor, RE Attorney, Title Company, home inspector, contractors and property managers (to name a few team members) and  establish your expectations for each in addition to developing a way that the team members all feel that working hard for you and working to ensure that you get the best deals, at the best price is also beneficial to them. 

Both @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner along with every BP podcast highly suggest it and, while I'm a newby, the reasons all seem to make perfect sense: Avoid bugging an agent to write offers, access to the MLS, potentially saving a commission and having the ability to give my commission away to the listing agent to help encourage getting things doneCan an Illinois agent see the Michigan MLS & vice versa?
