Hey BP,I need a structural engineer to take a look at a deck that is built hillside in the Hollywood Hills.

Also strongly suggest making a stop in the Telluride area if you've never been.In terms of property, you'll find an endless supply of small farm towns in that whole corner of the state you could use as a base - for the actual investing, there's not that many larger markets - Grand Junction, Durango, the I-70 corridor.

It's a twin that was built in 1928 and has existing hardwood (or it may be softwood one contractor mentioned?)

You also have the option of getting a loan to purchase the property with construction costs built in. 

on renting in a “college-town”?

Are there any cool small ski towns that have good outlook for growth?  

She kept the apartments maintained and heated (one one system and service now) but never rented and legally converted it to a SFH with the town. 

So your dealing with more the outskirts of town lower income versus the run down inner city higher crime areas

I'm a Vegas native and I know this town like the back of my hand. 

Also, it’s a small town.
