Better hurry before selling season is over and inventory dries up.  

-Dry; Sealer, burlap or both?

It'll keep you in those dry, long days and help you stay focused along the path of real estate investing.Next, read up on each area  (STR, LTR, etc.) and decide the most straightforward entry point to get started.

I live here in another very dry climate, sunny Denver, Colorado.  

Right now places for sale seem to have dried up, but the situation is still the same.

Air conditioning acts like a dehumidifier - drying and circulating the air throughout the house. 

I did have the drywall removed and had blowers on the wet areas to assure it was 100% dried out and avoid mold issues.. along with had the area professionally cleaned after.

I'm looking for recommendations for an investor- friendly Title Company in Colorado Springs Colorado as I'm hoping to do a "dry double closing" as to avoid the fees associated with a "wet double closing" and needing to get transactional funding.

If you are flipping that is the best way to do it. if you are holding, you may find refinancing challenging if STR financing dries up due to the current banking environment.
