I am looking for a good Property Manager that can maintain the property, and handle repairs (at a fair price) and get me a tenant.

We do not want to break any fair housing laws by passing a family up to sign with college students.

LOLUsually I just press upon the fact that, hey seller this is my final and fair offer.

My name is Chris McCall and I am a fairly new buy and hold investor concentrating on multifamily properties.  

That makes sense and I understand not wanting to go through all of that trouble without some skin in the game so to speak.

Find an agent with thick skin, and expect them to complain about every offer you want to make anyway.My experience has been that about 90% of asking prices are way too high for investors, but make offers anyway.

Millenials are fairly reluctant to buy as this time and prefer to rent to the tune of almost 70%. 

Does this happen from time to time that a valve goes bad and the pipes and valve need to be replaced, or is this fairly rare?

I didn't get one minute of sleep last night because I had an idea about how a seller could finance my "skin in the game".

This seems to be fairly standard by property managers when they are giving up on your property; stuff the landlord with some ridiculous quite and hope they go away.Find out what the problems are and start getting real quotes.Carpet, you were onto a loser in the first place, but don't underestimate how good a professional carpet cleaning company can be.
