But if you wait for the perfect property to go it alone on, then you'll just be waiting for years in my opinion.  

They started out 100% perfect condition and they get cleaned/checked every week.

Although this is nothing fancy, this should work perfectly with the limited amount of phone calls we are getting until we are able to increase our marketing budget.I also realized this weekend that we are not writing any offers. 

We set up shared files in google drive and it works perfectly!

That is the perfect time for pre-filling in the move-in checklist, or property condition report, as we call it.

(Dang near perfect credit, never late on any payments, married 10 years prior to having our first baby ect) I was born and raised here and would like to build a portfolio here as well so like I said, if you can give me a round about what you consider a fair deal for both of us...I'm all ears!

And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

"turbulent financial times" are never-ending and there isnt a perfect market or perfect time to buy. 

I see no point in enforcing a tenant change (because that's what invariably will happen if one goes too high) if and when I have a perfectly good tenant.

It sounds like you a did a deal that's perfect for you and your husband.
