House Hack + Airbnb Greater Denver Area

[Hank Olken]

Hi All, I'm looking to move to Denver area in the next year and I'm looking to get a duplex where I house hack one of the units and rent out the other unit as an Airbnb as an introduction into real estate investing and property management. I know that in Denver city limits, one can't Airbnb their non-primary residence for fewer than 30 days/stay booked so I'm looking into surrounding cities like Aurora to do this where they don't have the same restriction. 

So my main question is has anyone here done this before in the greater Denver area? I'd love to connect with anyone who has experience with duplexes and/or Airbnb-ing additional units in the area. I also plan to utilize creative financing to make the deal so particularly interested in connecting with any investors who would like to learn more. 

Thanks y'all and chat soon!
