Multifamily here in Co Springs and Denver area has been "overpriced" somewhat because of the military presence and rise in popularity of house hacking. 

I am considering taking the CO/national real estate exam + course hours requirement and becoming an independent broker or associating with a small brokerage (I can see the benefit of associating with a firm experienced in the area and able to bounce ideas off of).

We live in Denver, so we're very curious how this kind of strategy would work in a place where EVERYBODY camps, gets outdoors, travels, etc.

Check with your water company (or sewer co if that is billed separately) to see if they offer insurance.That being said, get the inspection anyway!

Any escrow co. would settle that for you.

I co-own a short-term property management company.

In general,I think C/O is the way to go though. 

I'm currently 17 years old in the Aurora/Denver area and will be getting my real estate license in July!

They each have different fees, applications, and processes for admitting new brokers- Consider co-working spaces for office location (regus, wework, spaces, greendesk, etc).

As I thought, get the purchase agreement that includes a special stipulation saying we'll pay the unpaid taxes.submit to title company and perform searchfund escrow accounttitle co will distribute funds at closing.shooting for a two week turn around or less.
