Hi all, I am located in Denver and was curious if anyone has experience with completely renovating a home vs building a brand new one.

I think we can achieve the goal of a family-friendly community and having a house that I can get paid for by using a co-op method.  

I don't talk to family, or friends or co-workers about what to invest in, not invest in, or what I invest in.

I am about to close on my first home which is west of LIttleton, CO (off Bowles & Wadsworth specifically for those familiar with the area).

So, I am in the middle of purchasing a co-op unit for a flip.

Colorado Springs is expensive so that might be tough 

Couple options that might be viable for you (I don't know all of your circumstances)- BRRRR into a DSCR by creating equity; partner closely with a lender before starting on this to cover seasoning and other requirements - also this will only work for an investment property, not a primary- bank statement loan/1099 loan may work if you can put at least 10% down and want a primary residence - will depend on how you're operating and a few other variables- seller financing; find a seller willing to carry a note for a few years- co-borrower; someone with decent income and credit who will be on the loan with you- DSCR purchase; be prepared to put down at least 75% or your rate/pricing will be horrible (70% is better); many lenders will have experience requirements; investment property only- find a private lender willing to fund the loan you need- get a salaried job relevant to your college coursework; your fico is strong and you have some cash, so househacking could be within reach via Fannie/Freddie multifamily purchase; get a solid workup from a competent lender before going this route as employment history will be touchy with this routeHard money can be used for an acquisition and rehab, but make sure your takeout financing plan is bulletproof before getting hard money.I'm originally from Baton Rouge.

Also, look for realtors, property managers, co hosts...
