Another question that I haven't yet heard the answer to: Do local governments ever run out of HCV funds? 

The problem is that they are not knowledgable enough to understand that the analysis is inaccurate, but start making investment decisions based on the analysis anyway.That is one of the main problems I wanted to solve with DealCheck by providing a tool that takes most of the guess work out of running analysis calculations and evaluating rentals/flips/wholesale deals that will satisfy 80%+ of investors out there.But going further, I think that tools like DealCheck are perfectly viable even for more experienced investors.

Knowing exactly what’s happening with the duplex—rents, repairs, tenant feedback—can help you catch issues early and save time, stress, and money in the long run.

No realtor is just going to run comps for you unless they are a good friend of yours, and even then, they usually will run them incorrectly.

Every one of the owners he is under contract with will tell you to run from this builder (law suits in the works).  

Sure you could hit a grand slam , once or twice in your life , but constant base hits bring in the same amount of runs on a steady basis 

Areas like Aurora, Arvada, and parts of Lakewood or Westminster can be good places to look, depending on your budget and target tenant.If you’re looking for a base hit rather than a home run, focus on finding a property where the numbers work reasonably well as-is—cash flow might not be huge initially, but if you’ve got room to add value and refinance, you’ll build equity to reinvest.

And we bring the side fence to the front of the house so the sides are not exposed to the street all the other builders go cheap and put the fence to the back of the house and save the side yard fence run..

I would guess that you have little or no experience running any kind of STR, and now want to get that experience on the back of someone else's investment, with little or no personal skin in the game, and that's not a good way to build an investment portfolio.

If people tell you to get a loan with 500 credit and no down payment and they can do it, I would run as they are most likely trying to scam you and request you pay $2500 or $5000 upfront and you will never see that money again.
