I'm sorry if this sounds prideful, I'm just curious and I don't want to be arrogant when I haven't done per say a lot of deals.

I will let more experienced folks provide detailed feedback, but wanted to say a quick welcome and good luck as you get started.

A permit could say a lot of things, check with building permit, I don't think they keep records that long. lol.

Real, substantial success versus using say a 10 day inspection period.

Welcome to BP & the mess that Denver RE is right now.First of all, what does your Realtor say?A

For example say a house is 1.1M - if you drop the house to 1,090,000 (10k drop) do you think this accomplishes anything?

Permits expire without an inspection within 180 days, so you may have to renew the permit which can be very pricey depending upon the jurisdiction.....Anything you can rent out is a better choice than say, a master suite, IMHO.....any chance this would work as a STR?

Essentially, if you buy a multi-unit property, say a duplex, you can live in one side and rent out the other side to help pay your mortgage/expenses.

Odds are, if you say a correction/crash is coming each year, eventually you will be correct (like any broken clock).

I’ve reached out and asked for say a whole state but the cost is still about $200/month (annual subscription).
