Hello all,I do a rent by room strategy outside of Denver proper, and in the past have been burned a common denominator of two tenant that I allowed co-signers were not a good fit.

Feel free to DM and we can see if you’d be a good fit the market I work and if not, at least I can give you a few pointers as far as STR fundamentals and a couple resources for cost segregation.

For example, this deal does not seem to "fit" based on the 70% rule calculator which was new to us.3.Any suggestions on how we could negotiate better terms with either the bank or real estate agents?

Working with a Broker who represents a wide variety of lenders will allow your Broker to find a lending partner that fits your situation.

Indeed, the good ones I've used tend not to have a particularly high view of their colleagues in the industry @Andrew Syrios I guess I just need to spend more time searching for a realtor that is a better fit.

Just like any strategy it depends on your goals and how a MTR fits into those and your other investments. 

A month at Anytime Fitness will cost you less than $50 and they can shower 20 times a day without a problem.

I've tried QB (admittedly, didn't try for long) and it didn't seem to be a good fit.

It is likely most of them are familiar with both conventional, FHA and potentially other financing options that could be a good fit.

It is still a hands on, dirt in your fingernails, paint on your clothes business.
