@Brandon Hotopp, I'm not sure about Denver, but in Oregon, if you are not associated with a brokerage, you are issued an inactive license, which means you won't get the perks of being an agent.If you decide to get your license, shop around for a brokerage that is friendly towards investor-agents and has low fees.

When I reminded them of the lease and the terms (along with the associated fees for pets), he said "If you're going to charge me for the bird I'm just going to give it away." 

You will get a record of the payment and the money will be deposited just like a credit card payment.Maintenance Calls - www.NightTenders.com Is an affiliate of the National Association of Residential Property Managers.

In OC I work for Orange County Association of Realtors, so this form of boards in his local area.Once you get ahold of someone, explain to them the situation and give a formal complaint, which should be followed by the local boards contacting him about getting everything you requested to you.

The costs associated with locating a rental will be added to your basis of that rental, not deducted. 

We have a standard Texas Association of Realtors lease that I believe is used in majority of Houston leases, at least by RE agents.

Go to Bigger Pockets Members list and search for members who have information associated with what you are seeking.

They just don't have the upside potential that sfrs/multis have and the association can become a nightmare.

So, pictures and receipts showing $ amounts for improvements with dates associated with it will go a long way.Good luck!
