Lived here 2 years.  

Sean lived in Leesburg in the past. lol

Hi Evan,I would recommend annual rent increases that align with cost of living - assuming you are currently at or near market.Residents typically expect a small increase and it's better to do it each year, rather than getting behind and having to do a large increase all at once.

I’d like to buy the place, renovate it, and then live in it for a few years as my primary while renting out the 2/1, and then ultimately selling or renting out the main house too. wondering what the best purchase strategy would be considering I don’t have the full purchase price in cash on hand?

Mysteriously I got a vague notification that the listing went live again.

I currently live in San Jose, CA. 

.: Quote from @Greg Scott: I rarely invest where I would want to live.  

Buyer will live in property.  

The vagrants were stripping these old warehouses of their copper and living in them.

I know in your city of Denver you can't host unless you live on the property but of course there are ways around that.
