@Nik Farooqui You are correct in that GC licensing is never a requirement but it is more of a "silent factor" that can make a lender more comfortable lending hard money and thus the approval and loan process easier.

Those are significant network effects and technology maturity factors that will make it very difficult for a crypto to supplant bitcoin as essentially the global reserve cryptocurrency.

I believe there are license allotments in many towns near and around Denver so you want to make sure there is a license available for the basement unit before you factor this into your cashflow plan.

If think you'll have capital expenses I'd factor those costs in. 

It would involve putting an external staircase on the side of the house and making the second bathroom into a full bath.

With such low rental yields, the return on investment (ROI) and cash-on-cash (CoC) return are negative when factoring in mortgage payments only, not including any other factors.In this market, it seems almost impossible to make a profit using traditional rental property investing strategies.

I’ve been reading extensively on strategies to minimize tenant vacancies through smart investments, and I’ve come to realize that many other factors play a crucial role when managing rental properties.

There are a lot of factors that go into this and a lot of levers to pull.If none of this works and the goal of the new purchase is to househack that property into an investment property, you may be able to use a DSCR loan to buy the new property as an outright investment property.

Landlord laws was the main factor why I chose to invest out of state and have been happy with my decision to do so. 

There are some other dynamics that also will likely play a factor in making the situation great for investors...such as runup in home prices and interest rates probably created a permanent renter class of society.
