@Mario Keophilalay For our STRs and MTRs in Colorado Springs we have usually stuck with purchasing from Amazon and Mayfair as well as Facebook marketplace occasionally.

I understand that things like landscaping and cleaning services will be a constant with the occasional larger furnace and roof jobs required.

Originally, I used a local bank because they didn't charge for wires or cashiers checks to close on properties, but once I built a small portfolio and tenants were paying with checks, I realized the cost savings for the occasional closing wasn't worth the fact that they didn't have mobile deposit or an app.And especially when you are starting off, and money will likely be primarily coming from your personal account, it is nice to be able to simply hop on the app, transfer $100k from personal to business account immediately, then wire the money to the title company from the app to be ready for closing.As you get larger, your bank may matter more, as some lenders will require you to hold the bank account for that asset at their bank, but that is a bridge you will be crossing much later on, typically.

Dirt on the wall frequently needs to be painted over on flats and occasionally satins. 

I was able to find out where my debtors worked through Facebook as they occasionally changed jobs and simply kept filing to garnish wages until I was made whole.As far as helping out future landlords, you've essentially already done it. 

When I was looking around here, you'd occasionally see a really big house that popped up.

I'm from Baltimore, but my wife grew up outside of Erie so I occasionally check out the RE market up there and the prices seem pretty reasonable.

You'll occasionally run into a triplex.

Sidenote: I occasionally build custom barrel saunas for my employer based out of Bend.

I certainly don't need to be there watching over their shoulders but occasionally it's a good thing.
