This might give you a smaller outfit that does good work but isn't booked out for 6 months like the big shops.Oh, and if you are going to buy and house hack again in Denver and you like the idea of having a legal Airbnb, consider Littleton, Arvada or Wheat Ridge, all three of which allow non-owner occupied STRs, so you could do Airbnb on it when you move out.

Might kick the tires on those outfits and see if anything comes together.

You will want one that does commercial work not a residential outfit.

Get a job at a local remodeling outfit work and learn.

That money is the cost of locking in the option to buy.You "could" give them some credit for paying over market rents, but most landlords do not.Many commercial outfits also add an annual maintenance charge to the final purchase price.

But you should easily be able to identify fees from 2 or 3 different title outfits to see if it is common what they are charging. 

A friend of mine works for an outfit like that , his pay is around $ 150,000 to $ 175,000 a year .   

Often times at 10% you don't pay for renewals but just depends on the outfit.  

Full disclosure, I am the CEO of Spartan Invest, a full service turnkey outfit in Birmingham, AL.

@Melissa Callegari I would say the priority for TK is not necessarily the market but the outfit you are getting them from.
