@Mark CermakYou may have already read in some of my other posts on this thread, but if the investment model you want to pursue is short-term rentals, what about Arvada or Littleton, both just on the outskirts of Denver, both with charming little downtowns with coffee shops and bars and restaurants and both with light rail running through them.

the house has a ton of charm and potential i"m sure you will crush it!

Whereas getting residential loan on a place out of state may just be easier, in some cases.Out of state, can be great, though cat's out of the bag on Bozeman, MT/Asheville, NC/Burlington, VT charming destination places so you would have to be creative there anyway.

Works like a charm, very easy.  

Also you can consider putting larger trim pieces in place and shutters if you want to add some charm.

Take good care of the original woodwork, nicks and scratches add "charm".
