Areas like Aurora, Arvada, and parts of Lakewood or Westminster can be good places to look, depending on your budget and target tenant.If you’re looking for a base hit rather than a home run, focus on finding a property where the numbers work reasonably well as-is—cash flow might not be huge initially, but if you’ve got room to add value and refinance, you’ll build equity to reinvest.

For the time being, might as well get a mortgage in one person's name.Best of luck.

Quote from @Havital Miltz: I do not know that if someone is in the hospital you can force them to close, I am not an attorney, but I doubt any court will find in your favor, closings do not always happen exactly on the day that is planned, even if everyone is healthy and well, the wholesaler here is not the reason for the delay so I am not sure what exactly you can sue him/her for, they are also being held up due to the seller not being wellJust give the person some time to get out of the hospital, closing will probably not happen the very next day either, this is really extenuating circumstance. 

So, if you have 10 units and you are going to pay $1,500 a month and you are working on an active income job, too, this is an easy switch due to the labor mentally and physically (even if it is just phone calls) to get these rentals running as a well-oiled machine.  

Is the higher price agent inflating to get the listing or is the lower price agent just not keyed in well enough in the specific neighborhood? 

Thank you and be well-ShawnT Buyers aren't necessarily interest rate shopping they are shopping for affordable payments.

Joseph, the best method for you would probably be the MLS or sites like realtor.com etc.

I have a recommendation for a nice PM that does really well. 

Most everything I would nonrenew a tenant for would likely be known to me without trying to "screen" existing tenants before renewal. 

Without rent control i either raise their rent far above market rents so they give me notice (my preferred method) or i simply do not renew their lease.
