I understand that flipping will come with its own set of problems.

Living in the property during the renovation not only saves me on living expenses but also allows me to intimately understand its potential.

I would love to get a better understanding of what duplexes in this area actually sell for, and not just running my numbers based off of initial listing prices from owners.

I would be using a DSCR loan since I don’t have 2 years of work history.You are mixing up loan types and I recommend to better understand these types.

Easy to understand, budget friendly.

I understand that if I buy the property, LLC is the best option.

I grew up in Denver but prior to moving back I lived and worked in the city for 10 years, so I understand the cost of living (even though I think it’s even higher now).

Leaving a bad review will blow back on you, show you don't understand the process, and make enemies at the county level. 

As a result of all of this, I heavily modified my lease, and part of my app process is before you turn in an app I send you a blank copy of my lease to read and review and I add a question in the app that states that you agree that you have read and understand the lease. 

It is my understanding that for a rental property, the discount points are deductible in the year the property is purchased.
