Also you need to focus on areas of demand where houses are selling quickly.

This thread is timely, as we just had a guest complain about several things post departure from a highly rated property and they demanded compensation.  

I want to post a Notice to Quit or a Demand of Possession, but I'm afraid that will imply we have a tenant-landlord relationship.

If they find out you did this, they have the right to accelerate the full amount due and demand you pay off the entire loan in 30 days. 

Guess I was think of holding it to get the 1,800 rent that area demands at the very least and thinking I could get funding to keep it and cash flow at least 500 since I wouldn’t anticipate even a higher interest loan on 175k being more than 1,300 piti.

Its all based on the property, zoning codes and the numbers.Yes there is a demand for smaller properties especially new construction if in the right location. 

There can be a pretty large difference between cap rates in a SFR property and a large multi-family property, simply because the investors that make up the demand for these properties expect different returns for different levels of risk - all other investors set the market for us.

Summerlin is widely regarded as the most high-demand, lowest crime, most desirable location in town.

Do you think you'll be able to continue to demand the same rent if utilities aren't included? 

@Thomas Cummings is correct, cash flow is great if you can find it, but appreciation is more powerful and is the main driver behind demand for SFR and small MFH rental investments in Denver.
