For me, it's pretty simple - I'll buy a house if it meets my guidelines, the key one is simple: can I make at least $400 mo. net with a proper margin of safety? 

In your case though, I've heard of people in Denver proper with duplexes who parter with LTR tenants (you could put them in the basement) who will co-host with you and be able to get a STR permit since it's their primary residence and you can work out a profit split for the STR or some kind of reduced rent for your LTR in exchange for helping you and you being able to keep the STR runningJust a creative idea I wanted to toss out as a potential plan B or plan C!

They can't answer most questions about maintenance because coordinators in outside offices handle everything.

I gave my Optionees a square deal. it's not a bad thing to know how to properly execute lease options but I wouldn't pay money to learn it or think I was going to build wealth with it. 

Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊

It happens, you don't hear about it because escalation of it does not let the plaintiff find much juice in the squeeze cause there's proper protection in place.
