Parental co-signing is possible but not probable.Has anyone been in a similar position?

Denver's not quite the coastal big cities in terms of price, but it seems determined to one day match them.

Otherwise I usually just track down the previous owners and get them to sign Quit Claim Deeds to me.

I think the first thing you're going to want to determine is what is most important to you?

Hi Joey,Make sure that when you are getting quotes, you determine how long it will take to pay off that expense.

I agree with Andrew - don't have your new tenants sign a lease until you've had some time to experience them as tenants.

If it’s just a shell and you’re going to build it out, I can’t imagine getting a permit anywhere without engineer/architect signed and sealed drawings (blueprints) that detail electrical, plumbing, walls, load bearing calculations, etc.

You should be looking at the quality of the area to determine what the churn in that area is going to be.

Made an offer on a CA (Los Angeles County) commercial property and got verbal acceptance BUT the listing agent - who is also buyer's agent in this transaction, doublesiding it - is saying the Seller is now making a "Counteroffer" that Seller is a licensed real estate agent which must be signed.

One clarification though, you mention the need for them to sign your lease.
