For example, you might prioritize rental accounting or finding new tenants.

Personally, I place the most emphasis on crime and safety.

Keller Williams because the CEO Gary Keller literally wrote the book on how to be a successful agent AND how to be a successful investor not to mention an oft-quoted best seller on how to prioritize and plan. 

I suggest sticking with FHA but putting up non-refundable earnest money and limiting repairs you might ask for on an inspection to only latent/material defects and safety issues so they know you won't nickel and dime them with petty items.Best of luck!

As you go down the road as if you're going to move you will learn way more than you could without working on getting a property and there are so many chances and safety checks in place if you do your due diligence you will know when you find a deal that makes since for your situation and at that time make the jump. 

That gives you some safety plus it's easier to manage.

We are touching up one of the units currently and before we rent it out I was wondering what type of safety requirements do we need to follow to follow all local and national laws when it comes to landlording.

Prioritize the work.

So agents have to prioritize their time to work with the leads they believe are the hottest, willing to make a competitive offer and pull the trigger when a solid deal comes along not the "perfect" situation.

What will it cost to fix all health and safety code violations and make it look gorgeous to an A type property?
