My immediate concern is that if I miss my window to qualify then with alimony in place I'll be locked out of the market for another 2-3 years and the opportunity cost would be greater than any real or imagined conflicts down the road and that potential should be able to be mitigated with a properly crafted legal agreement.

This site needs a lot more guys like you, in my not-at-all humble opinion.I like my lever stopper vanity drains, I think pop-ups are trashy, and I have bad personal memories of stopper drains growing up on food stamps in D-class housing.

If you succeed, work on your craft.

I would suggest reading up on the fundamentals of the REI craft in a book like Gary Keller's "Million Dollar Real Estate Investor" (and there are many more good ones out there but that's just the one I've read), and even a precursor book like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" to get a firmer foundation of general financial acumen, and then once you get a general idea, strike out and buy a property. 

@Joshua Levasseur can I ask how you craft your lists?

You can craft a nice letter and print and send really quickly and that will most likely be the most efficient/cost effective tactic until your list is larger.

The last four months have been the best time to be a buyer in Denver in recent memory.

Anyway i always love your perspective on sales and your one line closing techniques it brings back such fond memories for me.Jay Sounds like I would have enjoyed your Dad.
