I negotiated with a couple of them and finally signed a triple net lease with a fast food franchisee.

I’ve also enjoyed great returns and findings outside of MKE county; Sheboygan County and the Fox Valley.Some other food for thought, the shortage of supply is nation wide.

Looking for my first deal, I would love to have my first property to be local (Denver) or in the nearby city’s but I do not know what to look for, would love to get my food into the door!

Threatening health or safety of other residents3.

Any food for thought is appreciated!

Since you don't have kids yet you could look into Jersey City, it's very easy to get into NYC, there are a lot of multi-families, and once things go back to normal there is a good food scene.

I would also tell her you will need to do a credit and background check on him for the safety and security of the other tenants. 

Not to say you stop doing or not be involved, no, keep at it as are BUT under the safety of having the Pro every step of the way to protect against the missteps and mistakes that as you have found, are far more costly than the fee such a person would have been charging. 

Food for thought. 

Cook your own food, do your laundry, have more space than a motel room.
