Were you able to find any assistance??

(I have heard anywhere from 5% - 20%) What other things will they look for if I were to seek out a second mortgage?

The way to grow is to find a private investor to assist.

I currently live in Denver where the market is HOT, but am actively seeking deals (residential, single and multi-family) to help build equity and a safety net just in case the market bears towards a correction in the next few years.

One owner of the LLC was out of Cali seeking higher cash on cash out of class A properties then can be found in his hometown. 

The Tenant   The suit is seeking possession of the property. 

I wish you all the best as you seek to add more inventory to your portfolio.  

If  she is seeking a response from you all you can offer is the same advice as the utility company gave.

The best (IMHO)you can do is seek out a tax and wealth advisor that you can work with so they can better understand your long term preferences as it relates to your estate and then give you advice on sustainable income into retirement (passive and/or retirement accounts), charitable preferences and heirs, if applicable.

Granted, if friends/family want my assistance I'm not going to turn them down.That being said - as an investor with a license - what types of brokerages do you look for?
