@Taylor Reichert When you have more experience you will learn that problems are opportunities.Your prospective seller(s) have a problem in that they are unable to pass marketable title.If it were me, I'd determine if it was due to a prior break in chain of title, a current secured creditor or a competing claim for control by another a heir or beneficiary. 

#1- he doesn't want to compete with the guy who has signs out saying he paint a room for $75. 

If  I had your shoes on I might look to see what cabins are selling for that are actually complete rather than buying this one and having to compete the repairs.

Hi Andrew, I think debt tolerance depends largely on the individual: I am still building a portfolio, so I have a higher debt tolerance than someone who is ready to stop building and concentrate instead on cash flow. 

However, I would recommend teaming up with people who do have experience so you can say you are working with experienced individuals.

Any individuals or resources you all might be able to point me to? 

Even the great tenants who are always on time don't change them or if they did it's when you remind them the third time after 3 months...I would give them 12 filters and at the end of the lease there are still 11 new filters and the original one completely disintegrated and become "mush" on the coil above it.So now I always change it every 30-45 days myself, and use it as a way to do a quick inspection of the property.But too many odd size filters for each property or each individual unit is a real pain.

Can anyone recommend an individual/company in the Denver metro area?

Not every house in my urban/yuppie part of town has a garage but I think the fact I have one helps me compete with the new apartment/condo complexes popping up all around me. 

Your building may be currently in good condition, and your exit plan is for a three-year or shorter hold, then you can consider that in the recommendation to collect adequate Capital Replacement Reserves.3) Inspections - Include an inspection provision, and most importantly engage a qualified, competent property inspector who can verify the condition of all of the building and equipment you are buying.
