For example, Colorado's policy is to bid up with premium and people can not see how much higher other people are bidding in the online system, I am curious in previous years how much premium needs to be added in order to win a bid, in a ballpark. 

And if you're doing the flip, will you be adding value to the house?

If it is important can it be added to the calculators?

Thank you for all that info and I will for sure be adding that into the questions.

But as a forever student my optimism was not shaken ( it was supposed to be a flip btw, not a brrrr) now I'm about to close on the 20th on a mixed use, 4 unit value add project that cash flows positively day one ( not by much, but my plan is a larger scale brrrr)This third deal that just just got out of attorney review is different in the sense that I'll only be adding minor value with minor rehab.

When filling out the application for homestead it stated that all owners need to be added and that both owners addresses need to reflect the current address or else the application will be denied.

Do you think it is ok to let her know that even though I will fix any structural issues asap, I will not be adding shelves to the kitchen or handles to the closet door.

When I start the new lease with the next future tenant, I'll be sure to keep your comments in mind and I'll also be adding a late payment clause to the lease to encourage timely payment. 

Let's say you required 3x rent:income but now they fall under that ratio.Add Roommate, Qualify:  If they decide to add another roommate to offset the increased rent, that new roommate is required to a) qualify and b) be added to the lease. 

My dilemma is I feel there is a lot of opportunity with this particular home and lot as an ADU can be added ( as long term or STR) however am concerned with the potential risks (both cost and tenant facing) with it being a pre 78 home.
