Any title company worth their weight in salt should be familiar with assignments.

Property seems very expensive here in Salt Lake City, compared with salaries and cost of living, and I haven't ever bought a house because I could never afford to buy in the areas I wanted to live. 

Hello fellow BiggerPocket-ers, I'm hoping to get some feedback from people that understand a seller's market (Salt Lake area).I am a novice to investing, but hoping to make a strong start.

I'm NOT in agreement that only inexperienced agents do it, so take that statement with a grain of salt.  

If you are looking to house hack a multi, you can't really spray NJ as a whole.

Hello,I've received a call from my tenants said that they have ants in their dishwasher, they told me: "because their neighbor tenants who live next door spray something, thus the ants came to their place".

@Brendan Piper -  I have several units in different parts of the city, but not 25 yet, so take my experience with a grain of salt.1. 

I spray prior to move in if needed, after that it is up to the tenant.

Your numbers should be taken with a grain of salt until you've personally inspected each and every unit in the purchase thoroughly.3. 1-bedrooms usually have much higher turnover than any other bedroom count, so make sure your area has enough population growth to sustain that demand for many years to come.4.

You may be better off letting them move on when their lease expires, if they are going to be high maintenance.As others have suggested, do repairs if something isn't functioning, but "updates" where you are improving the condition of the property I would reserve for a reward for good tenant behaviour over an extended period (repair the leaky faucet when it leaks, but reserve the replacement of a faucet with a spray nozzle for when they renew their lease, for example).
