This is all super fun though, figuring out the nuances to this game

I am looking to finally get into the real estate rental game and want to find a decent home with minimal work needed to make it look more modern so i can start using the house hacking strategy. 🏡 🔑💸so my question is:When applying for a loan do you go straight through the bank you you been banking with or can i go to other banks and apply?

I'm an investor/developer in Colorado Springs and I've been in the Short-Term Rental Game since 2017.

You would have to furnish it but because of the higher return of STRs, at least the money stress would be eased.Unfortunately the RE game is not a sure thing.

I'd look at google and the NARPM directory and check into PMs in the area.

Fresh out of college and I'm looking to get my skin in the game in residential real estate investing.

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

Not trying to scare you but these things are serious for an inexperienced investor and easily take you out of the game in the beginning if you are not prepared.

In response tonight my wife (also a RE professional) and myself played a game of "if ___, than ___" because there is ALWAYS options and opportunities, the only question is what and how. 

Zillow is the main player in the game where I live.
