I’m an investor starting out and when I tell co workers, friends, and family what I’m trying to do they automatically assume I’m going to fix and flip and when I mention wholesaling they think I’m nuts.

Great post, @Robin SearleColorado Springs is nuts.

Don't go nuts over-analyzing those things, but make sure you have them. 

Both health nuts so I know it is not them smoking.

The attorney's here in GA charge North of $1700 to handle barment (which I think is outrageous considering how simple it is), so for two properties I'm looking at paying $3400.Now, I know exactly how to do every piece of the barment myself but I'm holding the property in a corporation and the laws in GA prohibit a corporate owner or officer from representing the corporation on legal matters (which is nuts to me!).

The bit of research I've done so far hasn't been super fruitful though, have y'all had success with HMLs in Denver?

Wait till after he has been home from work for about 30 minutes, grab a 6 pack of a non fruit flavored beer, walk over to his house knock on the door,  hand him one of those non-fruit flavored  beers, tell him you saw the foreclosure listing just you like you told us, ask whats up, let him talk. 

There was half-eaten box of Honey Nut Cheerios and I thought "Hmm, let's just see." 

Housing in Denver is nuts right now, so very out of the ordinary.The short answer is. 

It does not surprise me that you won't be able to cover your nut with expected rent, and that's before management, leasing, vacancy, and repairs/maintenance.
