Unfortunately, Colorado has just passed HB 24-1098, the "just cause" eviction bill, which requires landlords to offer lease renewals to their tenants unless one of a few specific criteria are met (if the property is going to be sold, substantially repaired, or renovated, or if the landlord’s family plans to move in - but basically you can't put it up for rent to anyone else for at least 90 days).

Hi! So a bit long winded post but I'll try to keep it short. 

I have decided (with a partner) to start a real estate investing company.  The strategy we will use is buy and hold rental properties out of state. I am...

Within the next 2-3 years I plan on buying my first home. 

Learn from those who've done it, keep at it, and change plans when needed.

Call the planning or assessor department and get clarification. 

@Bruce Ng- thanks  1) are you planning to pay the seller the difference between the purchase price and the FHA loan amt ? 

Are you planning to do anything for cap ex or maintenance?

@Theo Hicks most of the people I work with are in the heart of Tampa especially if its something you plan on holding onto for while.

I plan on house hacking btw.

If you don't plan to live there then I would look to use another loan option.
