I'm a homeowner, a new husband and a passionate artist and builder.

As for PMs - just starting making calls after researching local companies and mom and pops and seeing who you like the most - it will be a big burden off your shoulders to have someone else properly managing this, getting rents where they need to be and helping with upkeep.

Also looking into Amcrest, they keep popping up.

I still use my rolodex I got a cool one.. you just slide the bar down to the letter of the last name and hit the button and it pops open with all those with the last name starting in which ever letter you choose.. 

As best we could tell, the people were scam artists and had taken on a false identify.

Lately, on most of the corners, nice fancy self-storage facilities popping up? 

Below is the zoning matrix from municode: There may be some SF development opportunities in JoCo with farm land, but many parcels have active permits and the subdivisions just keep popping up.

That includes TV, Doritos, pop, cell phones, name-brand clothing, etc.

When next I have a vacancy in one of these properties, I may just rent some furniture and pop-in some decor to see what happens.

Real estate investing is a capital intensive business and you will need funds beyond the down payment for all the unexpected costs that always pop up.While not glamorous, a dollar saved is actually worth more than a dollar earned given it is already after tax.
