A strong “Core 4” can make managing your investment remotely much smoother and prevent a lot of headaches.Also, as you narrow down cities, pay close attention to factors like job growth, population trends, landlord-tenant laws, and short-term rental regulations.Happy to connect with you, and good luck as you jump in!

@Luke H.If the buyer is living in the property now it’s a consumer loan compared to a loan to an investor and will kick in a lot more regulationsYou can’t do a balloon less than 5 years, need to have it serviced by a licensed servicer, will have to go by interest rate usury laws, collect escrow…..I would not loan on this property to an owner occupant

I have some great examples in my book, including my father-in-law who lost tens of thousands from a single mother that he tried to help.Stay at market rates.

Your neighbor s as Sean mentioned, have a lower tax bill likely due to the fact that they live there and there are laws that prohibit the tax assessor from raising the property values more than 3% per year when it's your primary residence okay, it's also fairly common for your tax bill to significantly increase in the tax year after you purchase it.

Indeed, the FAIR ordinance is anything but fair to non-corporate landlords, seemingly punished for investing in rental houses to generate income as an alternative to stocks and bonds.A handful of opportunists likely could learn to exploit these new rules, preying on otherwise law-abiding landlords to obtain legalized shake-down payments.

what are the laws in CO regarding unlicensed wholesalers tying up property advertising it and collecting a fee at closing is that even legal in that state. ???

The cities laws make landlord very difficult for raising rents and evicting tenants. 

Many will also require a third party due diligence report from a company like Mick Law or factright (which they run around $30-$50k). 

The more you know upfront, the less your spreadsheet surprises you down the road.One last note: I’m not a lawyer or CPA, so keep this strictly as friendly advice.

Hi @Erin Colbert,The law requires owner-occupancy of either the newly created JADU, or the single-family residence.
