To answer your question regarding location- Since you are looking for easy access to mountains and a SFH with potential ADU, I would focus in Wheat Ridge and Arvada (just NW of Denver proper). 

With things growing, I really want to leave my 9-5 job to focus on my investing business.I currently live a pretty cheap lifestyle, so I only need about $30,000 annually to live very comfortably.

I will say that as a left leaning person I used to believe that rent control could be fine if properly implemented, and most landlords opposition to it was strictly out of greed.

These businesses are doing better than break-even on day 1, are less than a 1.2 DSCR as-is, but have significant upside with proper management.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has published the results of research conducted into how lenders are likely to be doing their business in the future, and what new information and personal data these companies plan to start asking from borrowers in order to determine their credit score.The biggest takeaway is the seemingly inevitable shift from merely accessing credit information to also incorporating people’s online behavior into the process of deciding whether to lend them money necessary, for example, to buy a house.Compared to the way the system now works in most countries – these changes, which are expected to be coming soon, look fairly invasive privacy-wise, and with no “vision” of proper safeguards.

So you shut your hole, and you keep your friend.Sometimes, the difference in your lifestyles forces you to speak.

I forced myself to be cut back the lifestyle when I decided to get into real estate and I cut my lifestyle to be 25-30% of my monthly income.

@Ronald Cooperman with that many units, your life will change DRAMATICALLY if you get off Excel and onto a proper management software suite.

Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊

I attempted to do a cash out refi into my LLC, and was told all i needed was to add my mother as a minority member to my LLC to properly transfer the deed.
