Would still grill a steak on Saturday. 

The closest thing I have seen/done is use a company like Evolve who takes only 10% for managing bookings, payments, calendars, etc. and you handle everything after the guest checks in. 

Other than that, Memphis might be about the closest market with turnkey providers and that's a long drive. 

@Craig Curelop If BRRRing in Denver is next to impossible, what’s the closest city to Denver where it is possible?

Given you're not Daddy Warbucks, probably the closest areas to UCLA that fit this bill are Inglewood/Lennox/Hawthorne or West Adams/Crewnshaw/Mid City.

The increase in monthly payments is the value of a steak dinner and wine for my wife and I.

However, Cozy sounds closest to what you’re looking for. 

If you only stand to make 70-90k on it as a flip then it makes sense to sell to the investor, however keep in mind if they are offering you that much then there's still a good bit of meat on the bone for them, meaning there is basically a whole steak for you most likely 

I do some, but it is not cheap.It would be much cheaper to take someone to a nice steak dinner and you have them captive for an hour.

Appraisal - Is an estimate of value by a certified (MAI) and dis-interested 3rd party - The appraiser.Assessment - What govt bases your tax payments on and usually not even close to value,  In OR, your TAV got set in 1990 and can only go up 3% per year with VERY FEW exceptions.Actual price - What a willing seller and buyer agree to sell for, prob the closest to the true value.
