DENVER — Rent costs in the Denver-metro area recorded the largest monthly decline in the nation in January, according to Zillow’s monthly rental report.Denver was one of 11 major metro areas where monthly rental rates fell, leading the way at a 0.4% decline in January rent costs, the report shows.

I plan to wrap it as an exit strategy,  but assuming worst case scenario, If I were unable to make payments and foreclose, the seller takes the property but would my credit or record be okay?

@Charles Evans, definitely keep all paperwork associated with your tenant (lease, receipts, etc).For expenses that are not split per unit but are for the entire structure (utilities if not separately metered, mortgage interest, etc), keep a record of those payments so your tax pro can deduct a percentage of them for the unit you're renting.

for off market leads it is always county records/courts/notices.

EVERYTHING is recorded, accessible by management.We do NOT allow our staff to use personal cell phones as can't track or record.

- If a partner needed to be brought in, how many JV projects would I need to be "involved" in to show a track record?  

I'm finishing renovations on a studio apartment (under another unit in a multi-family) in the next few days and am trying to decide on what strategy to use to rent it.

Lawsuits are filed with the court, lis pendens are recorded with the recorder of deeds.

The consequence: using deceptive tactics to bolster your resume and track record.  

Between strict public record laws, limited access to data, and the way certain counties handle records, finding motivated sellers can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.
