The foreclosure path is the most expensive path and you can put a lot of weight on that one, i.e., if a foreclosure exit doesn't work, then the deal should not be done. 

Please do not put too much (any) weight into this analysis.

I may have learned the hard way to get those pictures, including the ones of the toilets, somebody has put up a bird feeder and the house IS covered in purple bird do since she moved in, or I really am going to need the referral of the powerwasher whos brother owns a reliable roofing business.Sounds like a lot of work for powerwashing, but good habits and relationships with people, tenants and contractors alike  are worth their weight in gold. 

No Bill don't know that guy. just because he has the same name doesn't mean its me. funny story though.I know, same name, same hair color, eyes, similar nose bridge and facial points, same area, that wild and crazy kid in the mug shot looked similar to you, but you changed your avatar picture, so now we can't just see a little weight loss.You might expect a bit of ribbing around town for awhile.

I flip full time in Denver, and have never sold a property for more than $300k ARV, my initial thought is you might be swinging a little over your weight class.  500-700k is a whole different world and a ton of experience and detail above the entry level houses in/around Denver.  

In my opinion, having a local joint venture partner is worth its weight in gold.

You can sure lose a lot of weight with worries in this biz, huh?  

MSRs that fall within this 10 percent threshold will be subject to a risk weight of 250 percent in 2018, while those that exceed this 10 percent threshold carry a dollar-for-dollar capital charge.

However given the correlation to commercial RE thought here was best.I've noticed on some of the financial products I've been pursuing/commercial loan apps, and personal financial statements, all of them have asked about life insurance.For any in the commercial lending realm or those who have filled out more commercial lending applications/financial statements than they care to remember, do you feel or know if the life insurance section carries much weight on  your application/ability to obtain the loan?

Commercial space usually takes longer to rent so you should definitely weight that into your decision.
