If you do have to move because of a job, you would be safest (in my opinion, i am not giving legal advice or financial advice), i would sell that property to ensure that you did not just purchase with the goal of moving out early and taking advantage of lower rates and lower down payments for purchasing your home as a primary residence. 

2) After the tenants were screened and I wanted to "approve" them and add them as tenants.

Well anyone can write anything into a contract, but whether it is legal and enforceable is for the courts to decide...It is State law here that a contractor must call 811 or they are liable for the costs.

(Property Meld for one)--- Owners often think a PMC can just enter a tenant's home to make repairs, but don't really understand the potential legal issues of entering when a tenant is not home.--- Owners don't understand the percentage of maintenance appointments tenants miss!

Most hard money Lenders can't give you final approval without the property because they do an analysis to determine what their risk is. 

Is it legal to offer to rent the property back to the homeowner who already lost their home to foreclosure when negotiating the redemption rights purchase? 

2) Are you pre-approved and have the down payment in your bank account?

It couldn't hurt to call a couple attorneys right away to see what they say in terms of cost and suggestions for dealing with this quickly.In terms of mitigating any legal issues with your tenant be sure you are documenting every conversation you have had with the HOA in terms of asking them to make the necessary repairs.

Maybe they've been burned by landlords in the past and are being very careful.You can legally reject them based on personality, facial tattoos, body odor, or other factors, but you better make sure you can prove that it wasn't based on any protected class like race, religion, familial status, etc.

Hi Krista, Yes you need a broker's license to legally manage property that you do not own in CO.
