I am hoping to meet people who I can learn and grow from and want to invest in me and what I'm capable of. 

I keep hearing how people are cost segregating, but I have pushed my accountant numerous times on this and he just saying that if we did the cost seg, all of that depreciation would just go into a reserve that would then be applied when we sell the home. 

The people who continue grinding will be ahead of the curve when it becomes a buyer's market.

Especially since this tenant is a younger, college-aged person and potentially would be a high risk for things like leaving the gas on.Any recommendations on brands/models/styles for a long lasting electric stove/oven?

Real estate has so many tax benefits and credits available, that I always tell people it's crucial to have a CPA that's extremely knowledgeable in this area.

I'd suggest you also contact local property management companies as they may know people who are looking to buy places.

I have implemented a system where I call people 45 minutes before they are scheduled to come view a unit.

Figured I'd have it shipped to the cleaner, but interested in other people's preferences. 

The Emergency Rental Assistance Program has a ton of money still available and they are granting people up to the full amount of unpaid rent AND up to three months of future rent.

Put effort into getting to know people beyond online forms – that's the key to successful investments is finding other LPs.
