@Andrew Fredrickson, Quick question for you...when you say "Engage more on the BP forums," as a newer and inexperienced investor, I have a hard time feeling like I can contribute much to a post, and I don't always want to pose questions.

Currently we have two properties (one rented one we are fixing and living in) and we are interested in starting the process to franchise a quick service restaurant.

I've had properties that I intended to be a quick flip that ended up with good tenants so I held on to them for at least a year for tax purposes. 

Not only was this project quick with little risk but we are also helping the demand for affordable housing here in Denver.

I can take a quick look at if it you would like.

Always consult with your attorney before you rely on the above information.Chris, thank you for your quick response, I will go to the Office of Judicial records (room 284 City Hall- just looked it up) and I se what they say. 

All they usually care about is dealing with the hassle as quickly as possible to minimize their involvement.

You'd much rather prefer to invest somewhere nearby... somewhere you could always drive to the property quickly if something went wrong.Does that all sounds about right?

Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide quickly (since I will be leaving on Monday...).
