Two Denver area cities that had been silent on the issue of STRs -- neither supporting nor prohibiting them -- have new laws or are about to pass new laws to proactively legalize non-owner occupied Airbnb. 

Even if only one of you signed the lease the other can be there to provide support.

The splits are incredibly low (I haven't seen lower) and fair, and her professional support is great.

If the current tenant can support the place on her own and has been doing just fine then I would care less. 

Happy ThursdayAs a lender one of the biggest hiccups in the flow of funding a loan and financing the rehab is the Rehab Budget and Supporting Documents.Growing up, I remember my Dad writing all of his renovations on the back of an old receipt with a thick, rectangular pencil... although not the prettiest rehab plan, it worked for him!

You can't only evaluate the ROI across the board because if you don't choose a good property, understand the metrics, and have good cleaners and management support, you will lose quickly in Airbnb.

I suggest focusing on the area you want to grow in or that best supports your long term goal.

Due to general unresponsiveness of the HOA we did not seek any permissions.However, soon we received a letter from the HOA attorney with request to remove the privacy walls and the foundation support bars with fines for every day not complying.

Hard money, though expensive, can support the purchase and rehab.
