If I was going to do that I would be more comfortable forming a partnership with someone local with experience.

I am comfortable with my choice but I would not question someone who decided to refi and extract some of the equity to be more leveraged (I may have made decision to refi if I had any need for the money).  

If that can't ease the burden enough to live comfortably, the best thing to do will be to sell and walk away from the headache.

You may consider looking in the far outer Denver area suburbs or if you're comfortable investing out of state (if you're Denver based), consider going that route. 

Otherwise, continue the educational journey until you’re feeling comfortable enough to pull the trigger on something.

Be sure to study up on your local rules and regulations and make sure you're comfortable with it all before taking this on.

I also would like a service loan provider or some type of assistance to walk me through the first process, to understand the business and become more comfortable as I continue my note investing.

Get out of your comfort zone.

During this time, it is wise to review the lease and make sure that you're comfortable with it and also ask for proof of payment. 2 to 3 months should be OK. 

I know that most people say it's dependent upon your area and what you are comfortable but I am just looking for any guidance.
