I honestly don’t recommend this for you just cause you don’t seem experienced enough to successfully pull this off and the downfall is wasting an investors time, whatever appraisal will cost you, and losing an investor with tons of possible future deals because you bit more than you can chew on your first deal with him.

You are smart to start at 25 and build your future early. 

That might be an option for the future, but I don't think I am experienced enough to go that route yet. 

I think there's a strong future for STR in Colorado Springs and like @Jenn N.

She likes what I have shown her... the numbers... the potential future. 

You can file it at any point in the year and the adjustment will go against future taxes, sometimes eliminating the next few quarterly payments or more.

As I intend to bring A trusted lender with me for future purchases it would almost be like the bank making a continuous stream of income in away. 

I buy and sell homes in the (area) and I was wondering who you know that is thinking of moving in the near future?"

So for future that looks strong.
