And so would the rest of the Soutwest, which could then claim it's higher (and rightful) claims to the Colorado supply.Basically so many moving parts and ways to deal with the climate issues, both those that are real and those that are imagined.

Hi Lue, You meet the requirement, you would be what's called a non-occupant co-borrower.

I saw the biggest property managers in the area and I think the one we have been using for long term came up on that list unless “ Home Sweet Home “ is a national property management co. like Evolve and the others ..

I use Focusmate to co-work with others online. 

This is in comparison to a rental where the government is not your co-signor.

Smoke alarm and CO alarm, I provide.  

Are they willing to actually help/co-invest with you?  

@Kitty Walker- As an investor, I've refinanced multiple Padsplits and co-living properties (where we go direct to tenant without Padsplit), and I generally agree with your last statement, with some caveats:- if the renovation is done well, the appraiser may not even say anything that would indicate it is an "abnormal" SFR (has happened multiple times with me)-the investor may be wise not to make the house crazy- just leave a nice open living room, put double doors on the dining room so it can function as a bedroom now but be easy to convert later, etc.  

I don't use Buildium so I can't speak to what it can or can't do but owner's can sometimes be added on other platforms as co-hosts for the purpose of visibility.

Structure the agreement using tenants-in-common or joint tenancy, outline a co-ownership agreement, and consider financing options like co-signing the mortgage.
