Focus on the human aspect as well as the legal side.Have you tried connecting with local landlord associations or zoning consultants in Denver?

Yes we were successful winning bidding wars 3 months ago using the family postcard technique;) Basically, we added a cute picture of our family along with our offers (which were based on conventional financing) and our “humanity” made us win over the cash offers.

@Monica Gonzaleztools are OK but what you need is a network of humans. 

@Michael Plaks When there's uncertainty, there's an element of human nature that loves to be provided with certitude.

I definitely am leaning toward the first application being the one for me, and I appreciate the advice to make sure it is a good tenant in addition to just being a flesh and bones human who (might) pay me the rent on time.One of the advices I read above was to be a bit less discerning perhaps and get someone in the door for 6 months at a reduced rate, and then find my golden tenant in the summer.

You don't need scripts, you just need to be a direct human.

Some contractors may rip people off but flippers, investors, home owners, human being in general are all possible of ripping someone off in a form of no payment.

Y'all losing all of your properties because you don't want to be a DECENT HUMAN BEING?!?! 

We want to believe in the best in you however its been a difficult situation we have all found ourselves in.Being a stand up man, being human, and understanding you are destroying futures of families and people who had nothing but good intentions to work with you.

And the groundwater is incompatible for human consumption due to abandon mines.No utilies, no stores, no police or emergency presence for a good hour, no nothing.
