Are the big box stores the best option? 

Renovate with period correct fixtures and finishes, most of which you can get at the big box stores.

@Axel Meierhoefer I would say to have a interactive question section that will store any questions that have been asked and what answer you gave.

I ordered a 4pack kitchen appliances from Home Depot.but they delayed the delivery twice (the new date is July 21st, but  they also could delay it again...)I want to cancel the order and buy from a different placeLowes and Menards also deliver in 3-4 weeks. ive  talked to Metro Appliances, but they dont have an online store.anyone know some local store I can just ask for a 4 pack, give general details of the appliances I need, a budget, and they can handle it in about a week?

Your agreement is that the renter cannot store personal items in the garage.

Local lenders are great since you can walk into their store, but a specialty lender will have a fully developed program built around what you as an investor will need.

Is that in store for these areas of Colorado Springs?

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

They can take the screen to Ace Hardware, Home Depot, or some other hardware store to be rescreened.
