@Patricia MillerI think that your question has a complex answer, and several moving parts need to be understood to get a grip on Denver rents and housing prices.- First, EVERY city that has housing prices significantly above the U.S. median sees the same thing in respect to proportionately low rents to property value.

I don’t know much about apartment complexes of this size however I can easily see from the numbers this looks like there is plenty of room to make a handsome return .

If you want to buy in Seattle you're looking at about $3m, also you'll need a property manager for something of this size otherwise you run the risk of managing the complex becoming your full-time job.

@Jon KhalilYou could possibly get something like a condo and rent out a room (That’s another form of house hacking).If you want to try creative financing you can find a fixer and go with a multi family complex (duplex).

I don't plan to hold all my properties forever, and instead plan to sell them and trade up into larger apartment complexes over time. 

It seemed like either attorney is not helpful or the issue is so complex that it's taking so long. 

And, I'll be calling the condo office to ask for a copy of the complex rules and restrictions.

Look at what bank-owned ones are selling for in the same complex/area and how quick those are moving.

They broke down a complex business model into 4 easy boxes.

Find something,anything that is a violation of the lease to start eviction if you can.When you go in front of a judge in eviction court they will ask the tenant if they gave you something in writing.You have to swear in front of the judge to tell the truth.If you don't the judge can throw you in jail.We find tenants say lot's of things but when they are under oath most will not lie.They might try to omit certain info but the judge pulls the truth out of them quickly (within a few minutes).Some judges are more sympathetic to tenants and others more to property managers and landlords.It depends if you are the first or last case of the day and how that day has gone for the judge.If he is not authorized to have a pet you can evict based on that.If the apartment complex doesn't care and they are driving you nuts then go work at another complex that doesn't handle their business that way.One thing is for sure I wouldn't let them abuse me.
