This makes us think we have to go in with cash to even have a chance.

Most chances are it would be overlooked anyway and not affect the deal.Disclaimer: I am not an attorney or real estate agent nor do I claim to be in any way, shape or form.:)

But I'm sure that there will be another chance for me to meet you guys this Fall.

Anyone have any recommendations for a structural engineer by chance?

They say that not everyone will get a chance to join the mastery program as they are very "selective" and are looking for people who are eager to become an entrepreneur and follow the "systems" that they will put in place for you.

If you get a chance, post your before and after pics of the rehab on the forum.Best of luck to you!

They are not going to volunteer all these relationships to you, nor will these people treat you like the experienced investor, but if they know you have experience from working under that investor there is a chance they will be more open to having a relationship with you based upon the experience of the other investor.Hope that helps...PS The best thing about a mentor in your local market is a great mentor will know the market well enough to know a deal without having to use guess work, they typically understand the little differences in neighborhood that might cause a radical drop in house values of homes that might look like deals, but are really "Money Pits".

Will the value have any real chance of moving up or downward.Denver is an overly competitive market.

I don't require perfect credit, if they had perfect credit chances are they would be buying, not renting, but I want someone that pays their bills on time, has good rental and work history.As they saying goes, tenants don't normally go bad, they normally were bad when you got them,,,screening is the key

Again just enough below market where you minimize the chance of your tenant vacating but not hurt your income.
