Sounds like I can play it by ear.

Like I said we're very "wet behind the ears"

Very high pressure above 80 psi can also damage appliances.Sometimes draining the system allows for any trapped air pockets to escape reducing the noise.

I consider myself a green, wet-behind-the ears, newbie.

I'm working on changing my personal expectations, and trying to find the right team so I do feel like I can take time away and not have the whole thing crumble down while I'm gone.If you have any referrals in the NW Denver area, I'm all ears..

That would be another way to begin to infiltrate a market and build a local network of contacts that can act as your eyes and ears in different locations.

There are a not of nuances to this business and without eyes and ears on the ground to help you when you are gone -- you may not be as successful as you could be.With an FHA loan you could get away with just 3.5% down -- that still buys you a lot of house.Also, if you wanted to save more money you can start off by househacking even when you're renting.  

Man your reply is like music to my ears.

I have compassion but once they are in you have to get them out; if the father seemed to make the right noises it was just to please you.

You're renting them a room in your house... a place where you'll have fights with your wife, laugh at the tv, and make odd noises all men do in the bathroom... how "professional" do you think that will all be in the end?
