Mortgage on first owner occupied property

[Chance Rucker]

Hello BP members, 

I live in the Denver area and I'm looking to purchase my first home as an investment. I'm looking for a advanced cosmetic fixer to purchase, rehab, live in for at least the next two years and then sell or rent. My credit is considered fair at the moment and I'm considering an FHA/203k loan. I'm looking for referrals on lenders in the area, that you have worked with. I am also interested to hear of alternative loans that I should consider?
