The seller is my dad's mentor and the man who got my dad into buying rentals back in the 80's so I am toying with the idea of having my dad sponsor the deal to maybe help his willingness to negotiate.

Hi Matthew, I suggest you join Better than Success Real Estate Group and the Philadelphia REIA group.

Negotiation is a critical skill in real estate transactions.

I'm new to REI and considering purchasing a live-in BRRRR in the Denver area: ideally in the area West of Colorado and North of City Park. (1) Has anyone had success in the last couple years with this strategy and area? 

First, congratulations on building a successful business and selling it for such a profit!

I have not been able to verify that this has been enacted as part of the recent budget negotiations* (If anyone can provide some clarity or insight it is always appreciated.)

By staying proactive, building strong relationships, and remaining adaptable to market dynamics, you'll be well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities and achieve success with your BLBURRR strategy.

Also, there's a number of successful co-hosts in San Diego, if you would like their contact info, let me know!
