I'd say 28208 and 28215 would be your best bet to look for investment properties. 

Purchase forever home with remaining $Our biggest question that we would love advice, thoughts, suggestions, ideas, etc. is: What would be our best bet investment to add cashflow to our job income so we can qualify for the right price we are looking for on our forever home?

The 30 day notice would be my first choice and hopefully the tenant chooses to cooperate.

I bet if we did the analysis a 3 year look would be what is needed here. 

If you do re-rent let them know you will prorate their money back and I bet they will work with you. 

That’s the best bet.

Pay of $25-30/hr goes a lot farther there than here, in CO.Basically I am trying to figure out if I should try to "make it" in the market here, I don't know well, with no W2 income right now, but where I own a SFH with about 25k in equity, or move back to where Im from and know some people and know this one part of town really well.I did move for a reason and if I had my choice, Id keep the house here in Colorado and just visit Ohio occasionally. 

I love Brian Presson, good choice!

They clearly did well and I bet you they say start small and build up.

That’s the best bet.
