FHA loans are really only best in lower credit and lower down payment situation. if you have the ability to do 5-10% I would do it. if you don't need money for repairs , you could do on the higher end 10%+ but if you do need money for repairs 5% could be good. some lenders will do recasts on loans and you cannot do recasts with FHA.

Our ability to offer cash and close quickly gave us an edge, allowing us to secure the property under market value and position it for a seamless resale.

I don't mind the organization side of things in terms of booking, etc. but would not have the ability to physically turn the property over. 

However, and I don't know anything about AirBnB in Denver, but my biggest concern for this project is the ability to consistently rent the basement for $1,800. 

It hurts the tenants ability to find another rental, nobody wins, and it takes forever costing you money.
