If you already have taxes sorted then Stessa is also one to explore. 

It looks like those loans require 20% down, and I've been guided as a sort of philosophy, to use as little down as I can do that I can deploy more capital into other projects. 

The OTA's will give you a area where you can select how much availability you need between turns 

Tenant selection is critical though.  

Denver is an attractive metro for a few reasons, so I downloaded monthly price and rent growth at the zip code level from Zillow’s public housing data.I then used a ranking algorithm to sort the top 10 zip codes for investing based on monthly average price growth and monthly average rent growth (both by percent growth), from 2019-2024.

And you'd have to maintain a primary residence of some sort somewhere. 

Usually what I do is tell them the house is now gone if I've selected someone else. 

Developing a relationship and understanding the skillset your agent will bring to the table is vital upfront and puts even more responsibility on the buyer to have selected an agent that will get them to the finish line. 

Seems managing a "property management" team (without taking on properties owned by others) would keep things consistent and allow for minor tweaks without jumping ship from one "complete" PM to another....sort of handling all aspects "in house" but not solo.

My focus is mostly on land banking, a convenience store, and, more recently, providing judicial services for a select handful of foreign investors.
