            @Amery Castaneda

            I would first consult a local realtor for sure!  They are going to have the best knowledge of the area, and what market value is going to be.  An appraiser is only going to cost you money, and is only necessary when you go under contract to ensure it appraises so the lender can loan on it.

            If you work with a realtor on it, you can pitch to the seller they won't have to pay a listing agent 2.8% or whatever your typical commissions are in that area, and they don't have to go through the hassle of getting the house in selling condition.  If the agent you work with can negotiate his commission to be paid by the seller, it is a win win for everyone around.

            @Stefan Folkert

            Check out furnishedfinder.com!  This site is primarily used for travel nurses, but really anyone looking for a furnished rental.  You can also set parameters on VRBO and Airbnb to 30 days or more.

            @Amy Nordeen

            First off, congratulations and welcome to Denver!

            Regarding permits, etc. I would call the Wheat Ridge Building Department, and they will for sure be able to walk you through the permitting process and what is needed.

            I have a fantastic plumber and electrician I have used several times, and I won't go with anyone else.  DM if you need their contact information!

            Good luck :)

            @Matt Dunaway

            I'd start with speaking with a mortgage broker.  They'll be able to shop around and find the best lender to help with your situation.

            DM if you need their contact info!

            @zach dasbur

            Great question.  I have not experienced owning a property with an elevator, but your first call should be to your insurance agent!  See what is in your landlord policy, and ensure there are no exclusions for something like this.

            They can best walk you through your options and how ensure you have ample coverage.  Good luck!
