No, it's not easy but it sounds like you're going to have to hustle.Best of luck,Eric

So just don't add in crazy rehabs or high-risk landlording and a non-condo will let you learn all of that just as easy.

I'm curious about easy-to-use software options for small investor (two properties) that can help calculate IRR and NPV. 

Let me suggest you look at Pittsburgh  The median house is 132k, so finding your single family house at 100k will be easy. 

We don't always get along or agree, bit we respect each other.This is a long way of saying that instead of looking for a contractor who has the skills and the financial backing you might put a greater emphasis on someone who you can trust, respect, agree to disagree, etc.As for the listing, it sounds pretty easy -- especially in this market.  

I suspect the brokerage community is going to start telling their agents to turn in violators.one of my Oregon bird dogs just put a sign in the yard neighbor got pissed off as they wanted the house turned him into the state .. its kind of like getting a DUI  cost you about 10 to 15k first offense and a cease and desist..So then I went on to ask her about transactional funding as I have been a party to that a bunch of times and wanted to make sure I was legal.. she said NO way.. they deem that as some sort of fraud.. idea is the lender and wholesaler are in cahoots and scheming and marketing a property they dont' own and its prima facia evidence when they see two deeds in one day and a middle man payout.so bottom line you need to get into title and stay there for a few weeks BEFORE you market the property.. but as the regulator said.. they only respond to complaints right now.. so don't piss off any sellers or agents  LOL. 

As others have mentioned, it's super easy to go on the CO Secretary of State website to actually create the LLC, but the Operating Agreement and the title transfer documents should be drafted by an attorney. 

@Ariel Robinson For single family, it is quite easy.

He will break things down for you in a way that is easy to understand.

Wholesaling, like running any other business, is a PITA and not an easy way to make money.
