In fact, last year he had an excellent presentation on House Hacking at the meetup.Honestly, I am concerned about the next few months when it comes to appreciation and high end rents in Colorado Springs... but generally, rent by the room and other affordable housing should have stable cash flow in almost any scenario - so I think you’re setting yourself up for success with your plan.Last, there are plenty of good realtors in the springs (many on BP too), but I also recommend Colin. 

Good as will have plenty of time to do work on house and can save money from paying contractors. 

If the companies you are dealing with have experienced track records of success, they should be able to provide plenty of data.

If you do them one after the other, I would expect the second lender to not qualify you unless you have plenty of money for reserves for both properties.

Having PLENTY of time at home, I started digging deeper into real estate investing since its something that has been in my mind but my financial ignorance made me believe I could never do it. 

Unfortunately, there is plenty of repair work to be done and I had lined up several contractors over the course of the subsequent weeks. 

While I think folks like @Russell Brazil and Jay's wife earn what they bring to the table, there are plenty of lousy agents out there, and I think the commission should be more commensurate with their abilities and the local marketplace.

But then I invite all of them to Cozy with the full amount due on the 1st.

You need to make sure you use conservative assumptions with zero rent growth and higher vacancy, give yourself plenty of time, do not go hard on EMD and include Covid-19 clause. 

Not a big deal, and I would still have money plenty of money left in my HELOC to do another deal.
