As a licensed Real Estate Broker in Maine, I managed the acquisition and renovation of 1272 Lakins Rd, Etna, leveraging my expertise and industry knowledge.

My friend @Miller McSwain has a ton of knowledge on Co-Living if you want to check out his stuff on how it works in CO

An experienced broker with lots of choices at the palm of their hand is probably the best bet.

For active investing it is also helpful to have some type of advantage that sets you apart from other investors - that could be construction or rehab skills, market knowledge or anything else that gives you an edge.I was an active investor and didn't really have any of those skills.  

Extremely knowledgeable guy and understanding. 

If there is a choice to be made, it comes down to what an investor "likes" or prefers about one over the other? 

Last thing, I would strongly consider consulting with a knowledgeable property manager or attorney once you have a copy of the current lease and all of the facts.

Because the chances of successfully concluding a wholesale transaction when you lack experience, knowledge and capital are so infinitesimally small that you’d be better off playing the lottery.  

It takes time and patience, but the long-term benefits are well worth it.I’ve personally gained invaluable knowledge, listings, and deals from friendships I’ve built over the years.The more people you engage with, the faster you’ll achieve your goals!

Focusing on building knowledge, credit, and some capital is key.
